Today I noticed ads in apps on two iOS devices on my network where they are normally none. One is an iPhoneSE 2020 running iOS 15.1 and the other an iPadMini2 with iOS 12.5.4. On both devices I checked in the wifi settings that the PiHole on my network is the preferred DNS and that seems to be cor…

not that I am aware off; also I don't think that that is even an option in iOS12.5.4...

Are you seeing ads in all apps on those devices, or just selected apps? What apps are showing ads, and can you provide a screen shot of the ads on the IOS devices? You can paste images directly into your reply.

I don't have so many apps that show ads. Just two; one on the iPhone and one on the iPad... Here is a screenshot from the phone; [21-12-29 13-38-36 1704]

hey @jfb , thnx for the suggestion. Most of the steps in that tutorial I already tried. But the problem here is different: my iphone says in it settings that it uses the pihole as DNS (10.13.37.3 on my network), but it isn't. I can tell for two reasons: Ads are still shown the iPhone does not sho…

This is unusual. None of my Apple devices see ads. Under Wi-Fi do you have 'Private Wi-Fi Address' enabled? Also, do you have 'Limit IP Address Tracking' enabled? But I also send DNS searches from devices that are not manually configured to my OpenWRT router and it is configured to send DNS sear…

Does the iPad have cellular? How fast is your internet? How good is the WiFi coverage? Any chance you are on a 5G network, Not AT&T's 5Ge, a true 5G. I ask because iOS, by default, will switch from WiFi to 5G or, even LTE, for data if it thinks the 5G is faster using WiFi Assist and will in anot…

Heya, the iPad does not have cellular. Wifi and internet are very good and there is no 5G here.

How do I determine what domain an ad is coming from? FAQs

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…
