Blacklist not seeming to be working

I have a Samsung TV and it is trying to call home repeatedly.

But, it should be blocked because of this:

Sorry. What am I missing?

Your regex doesn't match the domain you aspire to block.

As the $ at the end defines an end-of-line match, that means your pattern requires a URL to end in samsung. Try to replace $ with .

Have a read of Pi-hole's documentation to familiarise yourself further with regular expressions.
When in doubt, use online resources as regular expressions 101 to test your regex.

Thanks.

I guess that is a Noob mistake.

Yes, but as @Bucking_Horn said, I goofed with how I entered the name.

Now it is blocking that site.
