Doesn't use blocklist to block

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue with my Pi-hole setup where it is not blocking domains that are already listed on my blocklist. I’ve verified that the blocklist is updated and enabled, but the domains still resolve.

Any insights or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

The first step is to generate a Debug Log.

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 do it through the Web interface: Tools > Generate Debug Log

the token is:
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/CSizVYf0/

Your debug log shows the first six Clients are not assigned to any group:

If there are no group assigned to a Client, there are also no adlists assigned to it.

Please check the Clients page and assign them to the Default group.

Is the issue fixed?

Nope, unfortunately, it still persists. I tested it by entering a domain that should have been blocked, but it didn't block it. I'm trying it now with a new install.
