What's the output of that domain via a nslookup on your Pi-hole?

(You might want upload the debug log by running pihole -d and sharing the toke so that we can take a look and see if we can spot something there too).

If you query your blocking lists (either from the web GUI [tools > query adjusts] or from the terminal with pihole -q for the website that was blocked, it will tell you which lists contain that site.

If memory serves me correctly, you may be running an older version of Pi-Hole which doesn't contain as much detailed information on the block page. Here is the V4.0 block page for a known ad-serving site (I selected the technical info tab) - it tells you which lists are blocking that site.

It may be that the domain is a CNAME (points to another domain), and that other domain is blocked. The block page does not currently know how to handle this situation, and will just show the original domain.

It's not a local domain, and the name exists.

yes, it's a cname. no, it's not blocked.

I've reinstalled in a different VM,. with different configuration, my dns. and i'm actually not able to replicate the situation.

But I never seen a page like the one in the screenshot above. My page has not a button for Technical Info and no info about blocked site

If I search a blocked site, I simply got a 'ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED' now.

How to have this marvellious page back? I was loving it...

This is controlled by the blocking mode - new feature in V4. The old default was IP, the new default is NULL. See the links for additional information on blocking modes and how to change therm. If you desire the blocking page, I recommend using the following: BLOCKINGMODE=IP-NODATA-AAAA
