Expected Behaviour:
Ads should be blocked when pi-hole is active.
Actual Behaviour:
I think the ads are escaping somehow. I saw Google Ads even while Pi-hole is active.
I have set my Raspberry Pi as DHCP Server.
I managed to take all the screenshots
Total Number of Request and Queries blocked
Most of the Queries are answered by Router
Here I set my Router IP as Upstream DNS
I have enabled Conditional Forwarding too
I don't know what is causing the issue. Blocked Queries are still the same from the past 5 hours

From the client on which you are seeing ads, what are the outputs of the following commands from the terminal or command prompt on that client:
nlsookup pi.hole
nslookup flurry.com
Also, please send us the token generated by
pihole -d
or do it through the Web interface:
Tools > Generate Debug Log
ninja@softinttech:~$ nslookup pi.hole
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53

Here is another one

Were these commands run from the terminal of the device that is running Pi-hole? If so, please re-run them from a different client.
Nope, These commands are from Client Devices. Not from Pi-hole.
Sorry, Apache is running on client device. I didn't notice that.
Here is the New one after stopping apache service
ninja@softinttech:~$ nslookup pi.hole
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: pi.hole

ninja@softinttech:~$ nslookup flurry.com

Ok These outputs show that Pi-hole is the DNS server for that device and is blocking domains.
Where are you seeing ads? Can you provide a URL and screen capture (you can paste the image directly into a reply on this forum).
Also, these tools can help you pinpoint the source of ads:
I see ads on YouTube Sidebar.
and I blocked TikTok Domains, Till yesterday when TikTok opened it shows Internet Connectivity Blocked. But now it's not blocking those domains.
Can you make sure, Queries answered by Router is Ok?
