Blacklist not working

Help Community Help
1

I have a new installation on a RasPi4. The system seems to work as i have 30% blocking.

Just for test a added 2 domains to the blacklist but these are not blocked even after a restart. Checkingf the forum I realise that sometimes there is a problem client and groups not assigned properly. Did not know that they have to be assigned anyway as I wanted all clients included.
I run the test on my Desktop PC and added it to the default group but still not blocked

This is my log:
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/Kbc2bnX1/

Pls have a look into it as I cannot see any problem.

Please provide the complete output of the command you are running from the desktop PC that is showing the domain as not blocked.

Your debug log shows a single management group (the default group) and all your domains and adlists are assigned to that group. Your Desktop PC is manually assigned to the default group (but would be in that group naturally without that assignment). There should be no group management issues here.

Side question - what is this specifric regex intended to block?

(\.|^)45\.88\.202\.115$

Hi jfb,

thank you for your input.
I did not give any command, I just opened bastir.at and alternatively tullnerbach.net in a browser and it showed my pages instead of the blockpage.
As 45.88.202.115 is concerned I wanted to avoid a continuous annoying appearance of a warning by malwarebytes which I have installed for testing purpose.
As an aside I had at the time of the test a active VPN connection to my home network. When I disconnect, still the same result.
"nslkookup" gives me
C:\Users\BA_2>nslookup
Standardserver: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.9
which is correct as it is the IP which was given to my main router as DNS

If that would be an attempt at trying to block an IP address:
That would be a firewall's job.
As a DNS filter, Pi-hole only ever blocks domains.

Please share the exact URL you were trying to access.

Thank you,

"As a DNS filter, Pi-hole only ever blocks domains."

Thinking about that, I should have known!

"Please share the exact URL you were trying to access"

"http://bastir.at"
"http://tullnerbach.net"

Run from the very client that you use to browse to those URLs, what is the result of the following commands:

nslookup bastir.at

nslookup bastir.at 192.168.1.9

Good evening,

Seems to be OK:

C:\Users\BA_2>nslookup bastir.at
Server: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.9

Name: bastir.at
Addresses: fe80::e168:b85d:a3e1:d7fc
192.168.1.9

C:\Users\BA_2>nslookup bastir.at 192.168.1.9
Server: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.9

Name: bastir.at
Addresses: fe80::e168:b85d:a3e1:d7fc
192.168.1.9

A happy new year to all.

While both domains can still be accessed by my Win7 Desktop PC as well a Win10 laptop they are redirected correctly to pi-hole in my android phone which is in the same LAN. Does window beheave differently than android? How can I get this working?

Regards Gerhard
