Nslookup failing

Expected Behavior

Nslookup should resolve hostnames and I should be able to browse the internet (without ads)

Actual Behaviour:

I am not able to browse the internet at all except fr local ip addresses such as the admin console. Going to a website says dns address cannot be found and will not resolve. However, the pi can be pinged and accesses the internet just fine. It is the only dns server, as proven by ipconfig /all but Nslookup fails with server:unknown but he correct ip and “DNS request timed out.”

Hmm well a few problems I noticed in your log.

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Networking
[✗] No IPv4 address(es) found on the eth0 interace.

[✗] No IPv6 address(es) found on the eth0 interace

You have an IP configured in the setup variables, but the debugger cannot seem to detect it. Can you verify your IP settings for the box?

This will also cause issues with blocking:

Thank you very much, @jacob.salmela for your help. The first error was the one causing the issue. I had pihole set up only on eth0 when it was connected over wlan0.
