Pi-hole setup working but device internet cutting out

Appreciate all the help!

Expected Behaviour:

All my devices should be able to access the internet with PiHole enabled

Actual Behaviour:

One device is losing internet with PiHole enabled

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/GSImQSpl/
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/598PXMNd/ (new one in case the old one expired)

More details:

I setup PiHole for maybe a year now and things have been working fine. Few days ago, my Google smart clock is no longer able to connect to my WiFi. Other devices are fine still.

What I tried:

  • I query the logs but I don't see any requests blocked when my device attempts to connect to WiFi.
  • I disabled blocking via the web interface and tried to connect my device to the WiFi but still doesn't work.
  • I removed my PiHole's IP address from my router's Primary DNS setting. My device is able to connect to my WiFi now. Of course, this means nothing is going through the PiHole.
  • Go to the web interface and change the "Settings/DNS/Interface Settings" to "Permit all origins".

Anyone able to help?

How do I determine what domain an ad is coming from? may help to identify which domains may be involved.

Did you check yet whether one of your upstreams would block a domain required by your smartwatch?

I'm not super technical. How do I check if my upstreams is blocking a domain?
