Pi-hole is showing me warning in dnsmasq core too often, could anyone explain what this is all about and how to fix it?

The issue I am facing:
Warning in dnsmasq core

Details about my system:
Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64 bit

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
I changed the Adlist by adding more.

The links to the docs are in the messages. Can you create a debug log and post the token URL and someone can check your setup. Run the command below to create the log and auto upload it to the secure server.

pihole -d -a

What is the output of these commands?

echo ">stats >quit" | nc localhost 4711
echo ">querytypes >quit" | nc localhost 4711

The linked documentation will fully describe each warning.

Thank you and I got the token URL but do I post it here because it contain my IP address?

Yes. Post the token. That allows Pi-hole team members (and only those few people) to access your debug log. The log also auto-expires in 48 hours.

Ok here is my token URL: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/jLmOjsgz/

By the way, I got these errors when I run the command:


*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: contents of /etc/lighttpd/conf.d
/etc/lighttpd/conf.d does not exist.

This is expected and it's not an error.
You are using Debian. This directory only exists on RedHat/CentOS/Fedora distributions.

Yes that's correct thanks

Also, could you please tell me how many default adlist pi-hole has because right now I only got these in my Pi-hole that has a green trick


However, the rest of these has a green circle and I don't know what it means.

And these have red marks, I don't know why so I have disabled them

I would much appreciate it if you could help me with these to understand it, please.

You can click the icons to see more

Green circle
"List unchanged upstream, Pi-hole used a local copy"
> it hasn't changed since Pi-hole last downloaded it

Green tick
"List download was successful"
> it has changed since the last download so Pi-hole has downloaded the newer one

Grey circle
"List was not downloaded so far"
> you have just added the list but not done a Gravity update yet

Orange icon
> means an error of some sort, usually that the list is not available. These also cause a warning in Tools > Pi-hole diagnosis: "Adlist with ID xx was inaccessible during last gravity run."

Red cross
"List unavailable, there is no local copy of this list available on your Pi-hole"
> list went away before you ever grabbed a copy, or maybe you've made a typo so check

Pi-hole only uses one list by default:

Thank you for this wonderful help, guys I manage to fix it. it turns out that my ISP does not support IPV6, which is why I got these errors as my IPV6 is enabled.
