When I hover over the ad links it reads the top two entries as the domains. When I go to the PiHole console it shows them as being blocked, but they are showing on my computer. How can I diagnose this?
A token of the debug is here: ya3c0jjdzv
This thread provides some tools to determine where ads are coming from. If Pi-Hole is blocking the ad domains, it is possible the client is bypassing Pi-Hole through a browser or DNS setting.
I am running my laptop with the Pi as the DNS. I know it's working because I am not getting other ads and I show up on the Pi Hole console. On the Pi Hole console it shows my laptop's IP, and the doubleclick domain as being blocked. Here is DNSThingy on a YouTube video clip page (the ad is not in the video, it's a standard webpage ad under the video). You can see doubleclick shows up.

The ad is not a video ad, are you sure that's true for regular ads? And why would Pi Hole claim it is blocked?
