I apologize if this has been asked before, I didn't see it it when I searched.

I just set up Pi-hole on my 4th-gen Raspberry Pi, and added some lists.

They're working well, but not on a specific site that hosts its own ads.

The site's ads all start with rv.sitename.net, the rest of the site seems to be on www.sitename.net.

Is there a way to block the "rv" parts from loading in that domain while allowing the rest of the site through?

I have read the Regular Expressions Tutorial, and either I'm not getting something or it's not working for me.

I have the following three blacklists, and none of them are blocking the ads:

rv.sitename  
rv.sitename  
rv.sitename.net

I now have `(\.|^)rv\.sitename\.net$` added to the list, but the ads are still coming through.

Than the ads are likely not coming from this domain, but maybe from `www.sitename.net/ads`?

> Block ads or fix broken sites This FAQ is written in the context of finding out how to block an ad that isn't blocked automatically, but the same steps can be used to troubleshoot issues with sites that don't function properly. An example is that sometimes certain payment gateways try to collect metrics on the sale, but these domains are blocked by Pi-hole, so the payment cannot be processed. Also, some links send you through several referrers and if one of them is blocked, you may land on a b…
