I have had to re-register because as new user I have used all posts for today.
Back to topic: I do not see ads on speedtest.net. I can even not open bild.de as it claims I have to disable my adblocker (no browser adblock enabled)
And that is what confuses me. While it seems to be working on ads it is not working on domains I type into the browser.
I am not talking of domains I recently blacklisted. What I do is I open domains that are in the gravity.list. The should be blocked by Pi-hole. When I ping the domain or try nslookup it´s bouncing the correct results (ping, unknown host, nslookup, IP 0.0.0.0).
But again, when I open the domain in a browser (can be Win or iOS or MAC) the website works great.
That seems to be working. On both Win and iOS device.
Also when I nslookup www.goode.com it delivers the IP 107.180.51.36 (if not blacklisted in Pi-hole)
When I nslookup goode.com (without the "www") it bounces back 0.0.0.
So the issue is the www that gets added in the (every) browser. Is this a bug, something I can change in my network? On Pi-hole? I cannot add another www.domain.com to 250k domains
Not really in the spirit of things... The reason behind the 24 hour limit is to give you a chance to settle into the forums and get a feel for how we do things around here.
As for support topics, it is more correct to edit your previous posts to include the requested information rather than posting many new replies in a row, bumping the topic over and over and spreading information that should be condensed together into a massive vertical sprawl that everyone has to piece through.
Please don't try to circumvent the rules in place by creating a new account every time you reach the limit, as that will only lead to an IP ban.. Consider this a warning.
@camisy Do you know that the Fritzbox got two DNS settings one for the WAN and one for the LAN ? It seems you have have setup pi-hole in the WAN DNS setting, which is the wrong place. You pi-hole upstream DNS should be your Fritzbox.
I believe you are referring to the rebind DNS issue with the fritzbox, do you?
However my Pi-hole is hosted on the internet, not local so I even can't use the fritzbox as upstream DNS.
I summarize the issue: What we figured out is that some or most ads are blocked. When I open a website, taken from the gravity list, it's being displayed (but shown as pihole). When I put this website again on blacklist but add www it's also being blocked. When I remove the www.domain it's displayed again. nslookup only give back correctly 0.0.0.0 (as configured).
I share this hosted Pi-hole with someone. All mentioned domains are blocked for him. He uses IPv6, I am on IPv4.
It might be related to Http:// blocked but not www
but why is it a problem for me and not for others?
Is it really the issue?
What's the workaround?
