Accessing https://ici.tou.tv (blank page problem)

I would like to access https://ici.tou.tv.

Sadly, https://ici.tou.tv makes many uses of badly written scripts. What has happened to me, is that the whole site goes blank when using pihole. Using the Tor browser, I was able to see the site again (the Tor browser does not use pihole).

Could anyone else try https://ici.tou.tv and see if they get the same result?

And if you get the blank page, is there a work-around?

ta, t.

You can just whitelist that site?

Yes, I tried 'pihole -w https://ici.tou.tv' and that gave no result.

Do it go blank for you too?

Try 'pihole -w ici.tou.tv' (no http:// header!)
Or use the GUI.

pihole -w ici.tou.tv
[i] ici.tou.tv already exists in whitelist, no need to add!
[i] ici.tou.tv does not exist in blacklist, no need to remove!

Thus, do you get a blank page when you try to access https://ici.tou.tv ?

No, I don't get a blank page and I have neither white- nor blacklisted the site. Seems to be a french-speaking TV site.
What problems are you experiencing? You speak of badly written scripts, but things look smooth here.
I can't play any shows - since I am not in France (or Canada).

Even with a Canadian IP-number, the blank page happens.

I got the problem on Linux Mint 18.3 (with four different browsers), with Linux Mint 19 (five different browsers) and on Ubuntu 18.04 (three different browsers).

On the Ubuntu box, I changed the /etc/resolv.conf from the Pihole raspberry pi to 1.1.1.1 directly. And it worked just fine.

Thus, there is something not working between https://ici.tou.tv and Pihole.

C'mon, stop trolling.

And yes, it's a Montreal IP-number.

With Pihole, this is what I am getting with Brave.

All this is not only Brave, but on all of the browsers. OS is Mint 19.

When I put the dns in /etc/resolv.conf to 1.1.1.1, I can make use of the site again.

Nope, that still did not work.

I have tried https://ici.tou.tv with Pihole on six different browsers. All the same result, the page goes blank.

If I set the dns in /etc/resolv.conf to a non-pihole dns, it works on all six browsers.

Yes, I have tried whitelisting and blacklisting googletagservices.com and I get the same result: the blank page (which initially loads for a second or two, then goes blank).

This has happened in: Mint 19, Mint 18.3, Ubuntu 18.04 and in ChromeOS. Same problem. When I don't use the pihole dns (changing the /etc/resolv.con to 1.1.1.1), then I don't have the problem. So far, it only happens on this one site, https://ici.tou.tv

I'll keep at it. It's a very strange problem which should not be happening.
