Not blocking ads

Help

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

Ads should be blocked.

Actual Behaviour:

From a couple of tests I haven't seen a single ad beeing blocked. PiHole seems to be working as expected but the actual results are missing. (The dashboard even shows statistics over ads that have been blocked. It is not noticable on random browsing though)

If you look at the DNS Servers section you will see 2 DNS servers listed. This is how advertisements are being displayed. There is no primary / secondary or fallback DNS configuration for Windows, both DNS servers will be used.

Actually, the 2nd dns server is my gateway which is there the config to pihole lies (which only have one dns set). So it's basically just a loopback. However, it seems like it is working now, maybe my ads were cached or there were some sort of delay
