Re: [PLUG] Pi-Hole?

Mine are still working (at least I haven't seen new ads yesterday/today). I had something similar happen a few weeks back and had to run the Gravity Update to refresh the lists. Pretty sure in the past Pi-hole wouldn't auto update lists, so you had to set a cronjob to do it for you. They might have changed that since.

Double check browser settings as well. Firefox (and I'm sure Chrome but it's not my default) like to use their own "private" DNS and/or set DNS over HTTPS. Either of those would bypass your pi-hole.

Pi-hole worked, then stopped. Note: as far as I recall, I changed nothing save upstream DNS servers, but it just stopped blocking requests a bit after 1800 yesterday. Curiously, it began to work, kinda, this morning, but still isn't blocking anything from a list of adult sites that I added. Note: my Windows 10 client is using the Pi-hole server as its DNS (10.0.0.18).

Pi-hole is running on a Raspberry Pi.

I selected upstream DNS servers + added the default adlist + porn list. I'd be glad to send the log to anyone who requests it.
