Is there a way to block adclick.g.doubleclick.net ads

Is there a way to block adclick.g.doubleclick.net ads??

Dont need to if your still using the default adlist that came with the installation:

pi@ph5b:~ $ pihole -q adclick.g.doubleclick.net
 Match found in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts:
   adclick.g.doubleclick.net

That domain will resolve to IPv4 0.0.0.0 and IPv6 :: for your network clients if they are configured to solely use Pi-hole for DNS.
For my Windows PC, that would give below results in a command prompt:

C:\>nslookup adclick.g.doubleclick.net
Server:  ph5a.home.dehakkelaar.nl
Address:  10.0.0.2

Name:    adclick.g.doubleclick.net
Addresses:  ::
          0.0.0.0
C:\>netsh interface ip show dnsservers

Configuration for interface "Local Area Connection"
    DNS servers configured through DHCP:  10.0.0.2
[..]

* 10.0.0.2 is my Pi-hole setup.

On my Debian laptop client, results are similar:

dehakkelaar@laptop:~$ nslookup adclick.g.doubleclick.net
Server:         10.0.0.2
Address:        10.0.0.2#53

Name:   adclick.g.doubleclick.net
Address: 0.0.0.0
Name:   adclick.g.doubleclick.net
Address: ::
dehakkelaar@laptop:~$ nmcli
[..]
DNS configuration:
        servers: 10.0.0.2
