I added a plethora of terms to my blocklist to filter out every type of clickbait. It was only partially successful; I added a few more blocklists, but then all of a sudden seemingly no ads were blocked at all, even though block notifications continued to be added to the query log.
I have just reconfigured via pihole -r and now nothing is passing through my pi-hole at all (i.e. zero log entries). I have checked and my router only has one DNS server specified (my raspberry pi's current IP address). I have also tried updating gravity, power cycling my router and my Pi. I'm certain the issue lies between keyboard and chair, but I just can't figure it out.
Some more detail of my travails in this thread:
Expected Behaviour:
Entries should be written to log, and some/ all ads blocked

bah, when reconfiguring I neglected to hit space to select wlan0. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
So I have now reconfigured on wlan0, I have added a couple of blocklists and updated gravity. I can see from entries being written to the log that traffic is passing through the Pi-hole, but ads are appearing everywhere.
