Can you give us a little more information on this issue? What url(s) are you trying to visit and what response are you getting. Also does this happen on the master release or just on the development testing code branch?

  1. I am trying to visit https://www.google.com. It is giving me a server not found error when doing so.
  2. It is happening on the dev branch.

Run pihole -g and then the first command again.

7

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -q www.google.com
[i] Over 100 results found for www.google.com
This can be overridden using the -all option

I removed the malwaredomains.lehigh.edu list which fixed it.

[i] Over 100 results found for www.google.com

This number (which was recently changed to 100) tells me that you're running a very recent version of the development branch. That explains why you encountered the following issue, which was fixed a couple of hours ago:

grep: *.domains: No such file or directory

Make sure you run pihole -up so that whitelisting or blacklisting doesn't delete your list.#.*.domains files :slight_smile:
