I have found I needed to add After=network-online.target to dnsmasq.service to ensure my ethernet port, ens18, is available, on boot. Using Ubuntu 16.04.2 In my case, I am using dnsmasq as per the PiHole installation where the IP is static and dhcpclient is turned off. But this is clearly not a PiHole problem as it just installs Dnsmasq. Rather surprised I need to add this report, and that this Bug report isn't a higher Importance and not resolved in 3 months. Surely loads of users will have this issue? Kind Regards
