Blocked although whitelisted and not found in blocklists

Hi there,

when accessing some domains / subdomains I get:
"Access to the following site has been blocked:
cloud2.mailify.de
If you have an ongoing use for this website, please ask the owner of the Pi-hole in your network to have it whitelisted.
This page is blocked because it is explicitly contained within the following block list(s): "

There is no info on which list cloud2.mailify.de could be.

When whitelisting cloud2.mailify.de and mailify.de cloud2 is still be blocked.
When manually querying the lists "queryads.php" there are no results :frowning:

question beside: Is wildcard whitel- and blockisting possible?

same with n1.nodenet.de or cdnjs.cloudflare.com (used for webfonts etcpp)
accessing cdnjs.cloudflare.com I get: "var x = "Pi-hole: A black hole for Internet advertisements.""

Hi,

none of your domains are blocked for me. But maybe your blocklists are different.
You can easily check your blocked domains with TOOLS > QUERY ADLISTS and see which lists are blocking your domains!
After whitelisting, refreshing browser caches and maybe restarting RPi, it should work.

I did.. but 0 results..
these domains are mine. so I would really be surprised if they where blocked by some list.

Whats output for below 4 on Pi-hole ?

sudo grep 'mailify.de\|nodenet.de\|cloudflare.com' /etc/pihole/*list*

host cloud2.mailify.de localhost

host cloud2.mailify.de $(grep PIHOLE_DNS_1 /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf | awk -F = '{print $2}')

host cloud2.mailify.de $(grep PIHOLE_DNS_2 /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf | awk -F = '{print $2}')

If it's not on one of your blocklists, you may be running into cache issues.

You mentioned that they were your domains, are they hosted on the same Pi-hole device or are they hosted on another platform?

Sure, the block page is actually the 404 handler for lighttpd so if you are hitting a domain that is hosted on the same device as the Pi-hole, you'll see the blockpage instead of a 404 error message, so that can confuse things when you are setting up your configurations.
