Allow login.live.com to pass through pihole without getting blocked, since it is in the whitelist and not on the blacklist.
login.live.com is my top blocked domain. I tried to whitelist again from web interface (which I realize is broken, but that is another issue…) as well as the command line. No matter what I try, my devices can’t log into live accounts.

Have you whitelisted all of Microsoft’s domains? At least for Xbox, they contacted us directly to provide some of the domains that need to be whitelisted. You can find them here:

It seems to be passing login.live.com now, however last night it was being blocked and it still my top blocked domain in the last 24 hours:
Top Blocked Domains
Domain Hits Frequency
login.live.com 3081
device-metrics-us.amazon.com 2659

Jacob, I believe I have all those microsoft domains on my whitelist (as is login.live.com). The issue is that pihole seems to, at times, ignore the whitelist and block it anyway.
It is getting blocked again. Output of dig login.live.com:

One other bit of data from trying to browse to live.com:
158
[22]:https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Kowabit.txt
No admin password set
Saturday 9:14 PM, March 10th. Pi-hole v3.3-0-g1e87850 (raspberrypi/192.168.0.130)
Run pihole -d for a new debug token. I was on vacation for awhile, and the rest of the team has also been busy working on getting the next update out the door.
Also run pihole -q login.live.com when it is blocked and not blocked and compare the outputs.
You’ll want to make sure to whitelist clientconfig.passport.net (confirmed by Microsoft as being related to logins)
I haven’t had login.live.com blocked in a while. I’m keeping an eye on it but it hasn’t been an issue recently. Thanks for the follow-up.
I added clientconfig.passport.net for the whitelist. Thanks.
login.live.com is working as expected at this time. If that changes I’ll let you know.
