Default group and added device to groups

[doable7322]

so i have my smartphone added to groups by its name, to block google domains etc with a blocklist. now i added a blocklist to block twitter & x.com domains and that blockliat is ser to default group, no shouldnt this cover every device under pihole? because i went to twitter and then was redirected to x.com ony phone, so under that blocklist, i selected my phones name under group assignments, and it blocks twitter now. isnt default group suppose to cover every device and i should not have to select my phones name?

also i am on dev build latest, i noticed my % block rate went from 84% to 66.1%.

if i removed my phones namee n mac from group, does that mean my phone fall under default group.

i am really confused about this.

The Default group is used by:

• any clients without a group and
• any clients that are explicitly set to use Default group.

When you assign a client to use "Group X", it will use only this group.

When you assign a client to use "Group X" and "Default group", it will use both groups.

If you still don't know what is happening in your configuration, please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or if you run your Pi-hole as a Docker container:

docker exec -it <pihole-container-name-or-id> pihole -d

where you substitute <pihole-container-name-or-id> as required.
