Are you possibly running into this?

If you still see blacklisted IPv6 domains show as forwarded in your query log but don't have IPv6 enabled, you may see a false positive like the image below, where the IPv4 version of the domain is blocked, but not the IPv6 version. root@pihole:~ $ cat /etc/pihole/gravity.list | grep edge.quantserve.com 192.168.1.126 edge.quantserve.com [image] I…

Queries for AAAA records can still happen as it's not actually using the IPv6 protocol, it's just using DNS and looking for the AAAA record.

[quote="Magura, post:11, topic:8536"]

if you have disabled IPv6 on your network, this is expected then since there is no valid address to use.

It looks like a ULA address, so that should work.

Perhaps I read wrong, but I thought you had intentionally wanted to disable IPv6 on your network, but now you have it enabled? In any case, if it's blocking the ads I assume that's the behavior you want, so good to go there.
