As a new user, using only the default pihole blacklists, could I just check whether people are still using these whitelists?

I haven't added any whitelists yet, but windows updates, google maps, keep are all working as I can test them.

But then I'd like to not get shouted at when something I haven't tested yet doesn't work.

So, do the new lists already take these into account or am I missing something?

An example is that sometimes certain payment gateways try to collect metrics on the sale, but these domains are blocked by Pi-hole, so the payment cannot be processed.

jfb, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will try to use your tip (have done that already). But it is hard to do with a smart tv that does not start an app when pihole is running... having a normal home network (some phones, tablet and a PC etc...) make the logging very "quick" and it's not easy to see what device (tv) is looking up what... any tip for that? It would be very helpful to filter on a "looking up IP address" for real time...

You can look in /var/log/pihole.log for queries from the IP of the TV.

Hi all!

Noticed that Fifa20 kept on disconnecting from the FUT servers once in a while. Problem went away after whitelisting some of the DNS queries.

Gather a list of commons DNS queries for the PS4 during boot up and Fifa20 (including FUT)  
[https://gist.github.com/Tonio101/742ab90735941e6896c309095d9755de](https://gist.github.com/Tonio101/742ab90735941e6896c309095d9755de)

Command used:

```bash
pihole -t > pihole.log.ps4 (Gather all many queries. After boot up time and Fifa20 FUT starts)
cat pihole.log.ps4 | grep -i -e "<INSERT_IP>" | awk '{print $4}' | sort -nr | uniq

```

Regards,  
Antonio

I found the following url allows REHL online learning, training embedded videos to work properly:  
79423.analytics.edgekey.net

Video would play; however, not show progress (continually showing it was loading) and thus not record your progression through the video in the course progress tracker.
