Ads should be blocked on my IOS, android, and desktop systems while my pihole is running.
Actual Behaviour:
Even though my raspberry pi is up and running and the interface says it's blocking queries as normal I still see most if not all ads while connected to my WiFi network on all devices. If it is blocking ads, I'm still seeing most of them to the point where I don't notice. I'm using pretty standard blocklists with Unbound. My raspberry pi 4 is connected via Ethernet to my RT-AX68U-5C08 ASUS router. From a glance I don't see anything wrong in the debug log either. Thank you for any help.
Please provide examples of apps or websites where you are seeing ads.
Note that your DHCP server (the router) is distributing both its own IP and the IP of Pi-hole for DNS. This may lead to DNS bypassing Pi-hole. Given multiple DNS servers available, clients are free to use any of them at any time.

Your debug log runs a test for blocking a domain randomly chosen from your gravity list. Yours shows that Pi-hole is working:
*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Name resolution (IPv4) using a random blocked domain and a known ad-serving domain

Your debug log shows the following activity in the past 24 hours. Pi-hole appears to be working normally and resolving DNS queries for network clients.
