Blocking Page kind not working

Expected Behaviour:

The blocking page is not working for blacklist website

Actual Behaviour:

I need it show the blocking page when someone try to enter that website

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/05fts8o2n6

The blocking page works only for http websites, and not for https websites, due to certificate requirements for encrypted pages. Is the website you are loading using the http or https protocol?

I use https:// for test the block list the domain is pi-hole.net for testing this block page but it still access or show only paper of sad face

Please paste a screen capture of what you are seeing, including the full URL you are loading and the displayed web page.


Still access for desktop browsers

But on the phone is already blocked and not forward to blocking page

https://pi-hole.net will not work with a blocking page. That domain is https only and you can not use blocking pages for https sites. The block page listens on port 80 and https uses port 443. Even if you open port 443 on the Pi-hole it will not work as you don't have the certificate for https://pi-hole.net.

So the mobile is the view you will get. If the desktop clients are still seeing the site then they are not using Pi-hole for their DNS server.

In pihole host [raspberrypi] it has blocked the url and forward to the blocking page in https and http hmm

Please post a screen capture showing the redirect to the block page for the https site.


Here this is what happened when am open in raspberrypi browsers website: https://pi-hole.net
I dont understand why it blocked so you tell me it will not blocked the website that is https if pihole not use https and has cartificate

The "Not Secure" message means you didn't go to https, you went to http.
