Help! Let me know what is wrong with my setup cause pi hole isn't working

[the.dza]

Hey everyone,

For years I enjoyed all of the benefits of pi hole then I went and did something stupid like attempt to update then thinking I screwed it up and then decided to erase my mini SD card for my raspberry PI zero W and start all over again. Well, I don't seem to know what I'm doing cause I have pi hole all set up, queries sneaking through and all the ads are now here.

In the "old days", I wouldn't be able to click the first "ad" links in a google search, got "Admiral" warnings when I would visit sites (CNBC) and just general see far lesser ads.

Today, none of that is happening and it's a totally different (bad) experience that I can't figure out.

So here is my set up:

Pi hole device

• Running on my raspberry pi W zero wirelessly on my network. IP address is 192.168.1.112. It's all upgraded to the current version.
• I've loaded it with blacklists from https://firebog.net/. Then done the gravity update thing.
• I've even manually added domains / URLs found from that AdamONE extension.
• When I set it up it came with that standard Michael "black list"
• I have ssh enabled and remote into it fine.

The stats seem to be misleading cause I find it hard to believe that it's stopping 11% but here is the home page

My router

• I should also mention that I upgraded my router to a Calix device which is commercial grade to help me with coverage across my house but has the basic DNS settings that I think are correct.
• This is the router GigaSpire | Calix Router | Calix GigaSpire
  So here is my
• Here are some of the DNS settings

Expected Behaviour:

I wish ads would get blocked again.

Actual Behaviour:

Ads are still coming through.

Debug Token:

Thanks everyone!

Your router's second DNS address should be blank because when it is used, pi hole is bypassed. And second doesn't mean only used if first fails.

Thanks for this. I've just removed the secondary DNS so I'll let you know how it goes, here are the current stats

However, I'm getting a bunch of alerts it would appear, here is a snapshot

From the dash, one client seems to have a lot of those queries. You could start by checking that out. Also, another thread is discussing a large number of queries. Do you have conditional forwarding disabled, which could prevent circular queries?

If you don't find answers in from a search and you're still having trouble, you could run a pihole diagnosis from the dash and upload a debug token.
