Whats output for below three?

```auto
pi@noads:~ $ ip addr show eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether b8:27:eb:68:35:17 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.0.0.2/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::2113:33ca:4a85:5fb/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

```

* * *

```auto
pi@noads:~ $ ip r
default via 10.0.0.1 dev eth0 src 10.0.0.2 metric 202
10.0.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.2 metric 202

```

```auto
pi@noads:~ $ sudo traceroute -n 8.8.8.8 | tail -1
 9 8.8.8.8 22.983 ms 22.683 ms 22.703 ms

```

You can run last one without the "`| tail -1`" bit to see where route breaks.

And try flush `iptables` for diagnosing:

EDIT: ow the upstream servers you configured:

```auto
pi@noads:~ $ grep PIHOLE_DNS_ /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf
PIHOLE_DNS_1=62.58.153.220#53
PIHOLE_DNS_2=62.58.48.30#53

```

Can you do a `nslookup` against them too to see if they respond ?
