Expected Behaviour: On iOS, with Private Relay turned on and with the setting: BLOCK_ICLOUD_PR=false, I'd expect ads on cnn.com or yahoo.com to be blocked in browsers. On iOS, with Private relay turned off, I'd expect ads on cnn.com and yahoo.com in browsers. Actual Behaviour: Ads are not being bl…

[image] Grady: On iOS, with Private relay turned off, I'd expect ads on cnn.com and yahoo.com in browsers. The behavior should be the opposite. With Pi-hole filtering DNS queries, you should not see ads on cnn.com at least (I don't visit yahoo, so can't confirm how that site serves ads). …

Well, I derived these choices from searching here and finding similar situations to mine. I enabled that setting for Private Relay because I read that with it turned on (which it is by default) it's bypassing the Pihole. My goal is not bypass the Pihole at all on my iPhone. I also don't frequent y…

What is it that you want to accomplish? All network devices using Pi-hole? Or, some devices or browsers (i.e. Safari) using a different DNS than Pi-hole and not routing their DNS queries through Pi-hole?

[image] jfb: What is it that you want to accomplish? All devices using the Pihole with Unbound as the resolver. One thing I did notice is that with PR turned on and off, I see my iPhone in the Pihole query log. So with it turned on or off, the phone is still reaching the Pihole but ads are s…

I recently had to set back up my Pihole + Unbound after a move and there have been several complications...many of which I posted about on here, hah. I thought I had everything resolved last night but then today I noticed ads on my iPhone (using the Pihole as DNS) that should have easily been blocke…

Unbound is not involved in any of this. It's just another upstream resolver. [image] Grady: All devices using the Pihole with Unbound as the resolver. Turn off iCloud Private Relay on all your devices.

[image] jfb: Turn off iCloud Private Relay on all your devices. I have tried doing this and it doesn't seem to make any difference in what I'm experiencing. I don't need Private Relay on. I haven't ever used it, really. I just am at a loss as to why it seems my iPhone isn't blocking ads for …

[image] Grady: So we can remove PR from this equation entirely. [image] Grady: On iOS, with Private Relay turned on and with the setting: BLOCK_ICLOUD_PR=false Why have you set this option to FALSE? What are the DNS and IP settings on the phone. Under WiFi > active network> DNS: wha…

[image] jfb: Why have you set this option to FALSE? I was just testing based on search results I found here. IP Address: 192.168.1.122 DNS: 192.168.1.188 (this is the IP of the Pihole and is what's set for the DNS in my DHCP server - it's also the same address in all devices on the network …

[image] Grady: Expected Behaviour: On iOS, with Private Relay turned on and with the setting: BLOCK_ICLOUD_PR=false, I'd expect ads on cnn.com or yahoo.com to be blocked in browsers. [image] Grady: I don't need Private Relay on. I haven't ever used it, really. How do these go together? …

[image] Grady: I was just testing based on search results I found here. When you set this parameter to FALSE, it allows Apple devices to use iCloud Private Relay and bypass Pi-hole for DNS.
