Help

Linux raspberrypi 4.19.75-v7+ #1270 SMP Tue Sep 24 18:45:11 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

After update pi-hole from 4.x version to 5. Pihole starting blocks normal domains with gravity
for example:
Google mail stopped working (mail.gmail.com)
vk.com (russian social network)
mail.yandex.ru (one more mail web client)

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/ta1a4gtzrr

Let's take a look at this one. What is the output of the following commands from the Pi terminal:

pihole -q vk.com

dig vk.com @127.0.0.1

sqlite3 /etc/pihole/gravity.db "SELECT address FROM adlist;"

If this is the domain you are using to access it, the domain does not exist:

dig mail.gmail.com
; <<>> DiG 9.11.5-P4-5.1+deb10u1-Raspbian <<>> mail.gmail.com
;; global options: +cmd

Do you use pihole too?

root@raspberrypi:/etc/pihole# dig +short @8.8.8.8 mail.google.com
googlemail.l.google.com.
74.125.205.19
74.125.205.17
74.125.205.18
74.125.205.83

I found problems with vk.com and yandex.ru. Ty
What about mail.google.com?

Yes.

This is not the same domain you posted earlier.

dig +short mail.google.com
googlemail.l.google.com.
172.217.8.165

O, sorry, my bad. All domains found in custom blocklist. Sorry for topic

You should get rid of these lists that are not supported by Pi-hole. They are not properly formatted and are causing your problems.

https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/bitblock.txt
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/cntblock.txt

This list cannot be imported since it has an invalid character in the URL, and if it is already in your list it won't process properly.
