Pi hole not working

Expected Behaviour:

Expected web interface to come up when navigating to the http://192.168.x.xxx/admin
Expected ads to be blocked when the dns server on Galaxy Note 10 is changed to 192.168.x.xxx

Actual Behaviour:

This site can’t be reached
192.168.x.xxx took too long to respond.
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

When the DNS server is added to the Note 10, it gives me a warning that I am connected to the network, but without internet.

Debug Token:

0579j35215

EDIT: I restarted the Pi, and the web interface is working, but I am getting the same error when trying to add the DNS server to the Note.
As a sidenote, does anyone here know of a decent VPN that will allow me to change the DNS server so that I could use my Pi Hole as the DNS? I am willing to pay a subscription service for it.

EDIT 2: I added the DNS server to my laptop, and It is not blocking ads, nor are any of the queries showing up in my Pi Hole query log. Am I using the wrong address for the DNS server? Where would I find the right one?
