Cant access some sites with Pihole

Hey, i have a issue with pihole, i cant access some sites, like Reddit, p-hub. i have no other adlists than steven. Tried using different DNS, reset everything, whitelist the sites that wont work, but they wont show up. other sites work just fine, only certain sites dont work.

im running on a raspberry pi 3b+ running Portainer, pihole, and syncthing as a docker.

Debug Token: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/IQ8N3FdK/

Update: Many apps on my phone also dont work like Discord, Mega, Shazam etc.

Please run from your client

nslookup reddit.com
nslookup pi.hole

hey, using linux so i used ping instead.

i pinged reddit.com: Destination unreachable
pi.hole: 64 bytes from localhost ttl=64 time=0,468

nslookup is linux comman which look like this:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ nslookup reddit.com
Server:1.1.1.1
Address:1.1.1.1#53

> reddit.com
Server:         192.168.2.1 (Does this mean it goes trough my router instead trough my Pihole?)

** server can't find pi.hole: NXDOMAIN

We specifically ask you to use the nslookup command, which is supported by both Windows and Linux.

i did in the previous comment:

The client is using the router for DNS, and not Pi-hole.

If you use your router as a DHCP server it propably gives your router's ip as DNS server. Did you change DNS ip to your pihole's ip in the router? You'll see your router ip as DNS server after this change, but pihole will work.

Can you open pihole webUI and settings? Do you see correct IP at Pi-hole IPv4 address:? If I remember right, with docker it propably need to set manually.

From webUI how's your query log? Do you see reddit line when you try to connect to reddit.com? If you see, then pihole should be working. At least partially.
