Freshly setup pihole not blocking ads

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a pihole for the first time but I'm running into some trouble. I'm very much a noob with very little knowledge so any pointers would be helpful

I've followed the install instructions and also set the DNS to be handled by pihole (I think I did anyway).

I'm running the pihole on a raspberrypi with ubuntu

I tied to look at different posts with all kinds of problems but I can't seem to figure it out, I'm attaching a debug token.

Everything looks okay in your debug log and it shows that Pi-hole is blocking things. Your router is telling clients to use Pi-hole. What is the trouble you're running into? The more info you can give, the better.

It seems your installation was successful and, as chrislph already said, your debug log shows no issues.

You need to tell what is the issue you are seeing.

Are you seeing ads you think it should be blocked?
Do you see queries on the web interface?

Alright, so the issue is that I'm seeing ads on websites (I tried youtube, msn, hackaday as examples of ad heavy websites) and for the queries in the webUI, I see a few there from flurry.com which is from when I was running nslookup on it as a part of troubleshooting (it was suggested in someone's post as a way to check if pihole works properly)

If you say that the log looks good, is there anything else I could provide that could help figure this out?

Pi-hole won't block adverts on YouTube. What do you get when you try flurry with these two commands, run from a computer where you are seeing the problem?

nslookup flurry.com
nslookup flurry.com 192.168.178.2

video ads won't be blocked on youtube?
how about the static ones littered in between videos, same thing?

as for the commands:

nslookup flurry.com
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: flurry.com
Address: 0.0.0.0
Name: flurry.com
Address: ::

nslookup flurry.com 192.168.178.2
Server: 192.168.178.2
Address: 192.168.178.2#53

Name: flurry.com
Address: 0.0.0.0
Name: flurry.com
Address: ::

This means Pi-hole is blocking as expected.

Pi-hole blocks domains.
Youtube serves its ads using the same youtube domains used for content.
If you block the domains serving those ads, you will probably also block the content.
