@codesplice, PiHole turned out to be a red herring... I wound up tearing my network apart the last 2 days and after pulling out a majority of my heair, I determined that it was actually an issue with the router. Apparently the vendor had been aware of an issue in the previous firmware that wasn't disclosed to the public that was causing occasional high latency to form on the network, and that was just enough to piss off Stadia enough of keep on booting me. Thanks!

Quad9 with DNSSEC... however I've been using that since day 1 without issue.

I have and I've whitelisted any sites going to my CCU and controller that are being blackholed.... I'm stumped... I'll be playing one minute and then next the controller and game freeze and I'm booted to the dashboard. Happens on both CCUs with both controllers and even my phone with the stadia app.

Stadia connection issues with PiHole DNS

This question goes out to either the Stadia team itself or any techies... I just installed a Pi-Hole DNS server at home to black hole all of the annoying ads and trackers... however since then I have been having connection issues w. Stadia. Both of my controllers and CCUs have the same symptoms... the game loads up then a few minutes later the controller stops responding and then the game audio cuts out and I am dumped to the dashboard. The issue disappears when I disable the blackhole feature of Pi-Hole. Turn it back on and the issues reappear, so its pretty evident to me that Pi-Hole is blocking something that Stadia needs to function properly. Can anyone give me a list of servers that I should whitelist so that I can fix this problem?

Please no obvious "Stop using PiHole" comments. I am just looking for a list of servers that I should whitelist. Thank you!
