Hi, 2 suggestions:

  1. Discord: URL "discord-attachments-uploads-prd.storage.googleapis.com" is needed for custom stickers attachments to load properly (tested myself, worked after whitelisting) (source: https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/yfvi1e/pihole_might_block_some_discord_functionality/)
  2. Typo: It should be "Canon Printers", not "Cannon Printers"

Hi, all in one command here as of 16th Sept 2024 for easy copy and paste.

Somewhere in my lists I have something that blocks adding Southwest boarding passes to iOS Wallet. Whitelisting this domain fixes the issues:

wallet-api.urbanairship.com

Is it allowed to update the regex-entries without the single quote '? E.g. the reddit or whatsapp entries...

Thanks for this, exactly what i was looking for after going through the first few lines of the first post. this is valuable. I was wondering on how to auto update this list to pihole if you are going to add more url's in the future.

Anyone know what sites/domains to whitelist for the Barnes and Noble NOOK app? I have a lot of adlists on but despite whitelisting a lot of common subdomains for Barnes and Noble (the nook one as well) as well as the main ones (in regex filtering too), I cannot make purchases anymore unless I turn off the dns server.

If someone wants to search manually for drivers on AMD.com, the "Submit" button will not work until you allow GoogleTagManager.com.

Not true, you must be blocking elsewhere, I had no trouble with the submit button to download the exe file. Check the log files, and check browser extensions.

Hello together. Created this Account just for this:

Please add "mtalk.google.com" and its variations (here a Reg-Ex for it: ^((alt)[0-9](-))?mtalk\.google\.com$).

It is used by some Apps like WhatsApp to give the user Push Notification. If it is Blocked the Notification only appear after Manually opening the app. Which is kinda bad for a Messaging App

Here a Post discussing it: Android phones home to mtalk.google.com - #5

Does anybody know which DNS entries cause TradeRebublic not to work? The lists of transactions is empty now :frowning:

Use these tools:

There is a typo in the list. It should be ā€œgoogleā€ not ā€œgoogelā€. It’s under the ā€œPush Notificationsā€ section.

ā€œpihole allow mtalk.googel.comā€

Should be:
pihole allow mtalk.google.com

Hey theres a formatting error in the TSB mobile section

Sorry :sweat_smile: and thanks for the reminder. I have fixed it

I’m curious as to why no one has thought to make an allowlist based on all the domains in the thread, or why allowlists haven’t taken off more generally since v6?

I’m not sure how to edit the main post, but I’m pretty sure for Jackbox.tv all you need to allow now is uuid.jackbox.tv. One of my lists blocked that, but I can connect to it after adding it to the whitelist. The google analytics stuff is still blocked.
