Ads aren't blocked on Pi-hole 5.0

[Jepulisk]

Equipment:
-Raspberry Pi 4 using wifi
-Pi-hole 5.0
-Technicolor TG799vac router with Mint 17.2, https://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?action=h_view&model_id=1622
-Windows 10 desktop using ethernet

I can't seem to get Pi-hole to block any ads at all on any device.

I had Pi-hole v4 earlier but now it's 5.0. I have a weekly updating script set on my Raspberry. I've set my routers DHCP server to use my Raspberry's ip 192.168.1.142 as it's DNS.

On my Windows 10 machine running following commands:

C:\
λ ipconfig -all

Ethernet adapter Ethernet 2:

C:\
λ nslookup pi.hole
Server:  limppu
Address:  192.168.1.142

Name:    pi.hole
Address:  192.168.1.142

It shows 192.168.1.142 as DNS Servers . Should the DCHP Server be that too?

I can access both http://pi.hole and http://192.168.1.142/admin on any client and getting queries to the log. Tested on desktop with ethernet and android device with wifi.

Debug token:

Now I'm doubting whether even v4 worked at all since I always use Firefox with uBlock :D.

From your Windows client, what's the output of the following commands:

nslookup pi.hole

nslookup flurry.com 192.168.1.142

[Jepulisk]

C:\
λ nslookup pi.hole
Server:  limppu
Address:  192.168.1.142

Name:    pi.hole
Address:  192.168.1.142


C:\
λ nslookup flurry.com 192.168.1.142
Server:  limppu
Address:  192.168.1.142

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    flurry.com
Addresses:  98.136.103.26
          74.6.136.153
          212.82.100.153

Forgot to mention I also disabled IPv6 because I found some thread saying it could help. It doesn't.

You have your privacy level set to 4. In Pi-hole V5 (due to the nature of the gravity database), this results in no ad-blocking. Known issue.

  [2020-07-07 17:08:22.739 17524] Notice: Increasing privacy level from 0 to 4
  [2020-07-07 17:08:22.739 17524]    PRIVACYLEVEL: Set to 4

Change your privacy level to 3 or lower and the problem will resolve.

Seems to be working now. Is the following correct now then?

C:\
λ nslookup flurry.com 192.168.1.142
Server:  limppu
Address:  192.168.1.142

Name:    flurry.com
Addresses:  ::
          0.0.0.0

Tried https://canyoublockit.com/ extreme test and various other sites with Edge and Chrome without ad blockers and (almost) everything was blocked. Thanks :).

Is the following correct now then?

Yes. That is properly blocked.
