The issue I am facing:
I have installed pihole on a raspberry pi zero W. It is not working on any of my devices. It's not blocking ads on any device, and I can't connect to it on some devices.
Details about my system:
I have it running on a pi zero W, my router is a ZTE F668 provided by the ISP. I have a windows desktop connected by ethernet, an android phone, and an Ipad.
What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
I have assigned a static IP to the raspberry pi. (192.168.1.11)
Then I changed the DNS settings in the router, to use that IP as the DNS server.
This didn't result in any blocked ads anywhere, so I tried setting the DNS IP individually on the devices.
This also doesn't work.
The Pi is running, I can SSH into it no problem. I can also reach the admin pannel by going to http://ip-add/admin, but when I try http://pi.hole/admin, it can't find the server. This happens both on my pc, and on my phone.
I have tried this with direct DNS settings on windows/android on or off, no change in behavour.
The admin pannel shows that there some queries, (but very few for the amount of browsing I've done, searching for clues to this problem alone) but that only very few of those were blocked.
I've even added more lists to the system to block.
I've rebooted my pi several times, I've rebooted my pc, and my android. no change. I've tried the pihole repair process.
I can even continue browsing no problem with the pi powered off, but with both the router and the windows DNS address only set to the pi IP address. Here's a bunch of screenshots of things I described
I've also generated a debug token: nw2i8yw9fn
I'm out of ideas of what the problem could be. Thanks for your time and help in advance
Rebooted computer, rebooted router, disabled ethernet, reenabled. Nothing seems to have changed.
The nslookup behavour is still the same (error without the IP address at the end, working with) and no adds are blocked.
However, going to http://pi.hole does seem to work now on the pc...
So it is using Pi-hole along with the IPv6 link local address fe80::1. I've read Windows does prefer IPv6 over IPv4. I'm not familiar enough with windows to tell you how to change that behavior (you might want to google yourself). My only idea would be to disable IPv6 if you don't need it, but others may have a better idea.
I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot for your time and help.
Edit: Would that also explain the issues on the other devices? Adroid/iOS?
I would not be surpriced if the problem is that the router is just crap to be honest..
