Ads not blocked on some clients

Hello.
I finally managed to install Pihle.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working properly. Everything is displayed correctly in Recent Queries.2020-05-07_13-18-59|612x500
Unfortunately, Pihole will also release ads.
I tried: restart Pihole, restart PC, ipconfig / flushdns, clear DNS cache in the browser.
I test ads on speedtest.net. Where do you test ads?

Why am I still seeing ads? Can you please advise?!

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

[Replace this text with what you think should be happening]

Actual Behaviour:

[replace this text with what is actually happening]

Debug Token:

[Replace this text with the debug token provided from running pihole -d (or running the debug script through the web interface]

I apologize for my previous vague question. Perhaps it will help more:

Expected Behaviour:

I think Pihole should prevent advertising on websites like speedtest.net.

Actual Behaviour:

Currently, Pihole receives all DNS queries from my devices, but does not block any advertising.

Debug Token:

It helped? Can you please advise me why it doesn't work?

Your debug log shows that Pi-hole is receiving DNS queries and blocking per your blocklists.

If you are seeing ads, it is likely that that (or those) clients have an alternate DNS server available to them.

From the client on which you see ads on speedtest.net, from the command prompt or terminal on that client (and not via ssh or Putty to the Pi), what is the output of

nslookup pi.hole

nslookup pi.hole 192.168.1.11

Thank you for answer. Output:

nslookup pi.hole 192.168.1.11
Server: cc74c245ce78
Address: 192.168.1.11

Name: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.11

And this one?

Same result:

nslookup pi.hole
Server:  cc74c245ce78
Address:  192.168.1.11

Name:    pi.hole
Address:  192.168.1.11

That client is using Pi-hole for DNS, but the browser might not be. Use these tools and see if you are seeing all the DNS traffic from that browser in Pi-hole:

I'll look into it, but now I've found an interesting thing: On a virtual PC that has never been connected to the Internet, ads aren't showing. On 5 home phones (android) and laptops and PCs (windows + firefox), the ads are still displayed, even if I manually entered the IP address of the pihole.

From one of these PC's, what is the output of ipconfig /all

I don't think there's a mistake:

ipconfig /all

Maybe ads are leaking through the IPv6 DNS server(s) configured on the Win client:

netsh interface ipv4 show dnsservers

netsh interface ipv6 show dnsservers

Or the DNS answers coming from the DNS server(s) might be malformed/protected by some AV software:
