Help

Hi, i'm using default installation of pihole using OpenDNS us upstream DNS provider in the last 3 months everything works perfectly but now i'm stuck can't update or install from play store on my android phone unless i changed from pihole DNS then it work perfectly.

I tried restarting/updating/rearing/clearing cache of pihole without any help, the problem is that pihole is not blocking any of google domains is just keeps sending those connectivity checks without any help (Pihole doesn't block them).

I've changed my upstream DNS to google same problem.

Can someone suggest to me a solution?

Add the [connectivitycheck.gstatic.com] to the piholes whitelist, and any other connections that google play needs to update. It's probably just the adlist has a false positive. If it still doesn't work maybe you've set up the dns wrong? Im downloading updates from google play and i have 900k websites blocked on my adlist, including the originals
