Here is my problem. W10 is set to use my RPI pihole on 192.168.2.1
The Windows DNS is set to 192.168.2.1 from the RPI
In a windows command processor window I can see these results
C:\Windows\syswow64>
nslookup spotify.com (with 192.168.2.1 as DNS server)
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Server: UnKnown
Address: fe80::561f:4e44:952f:f480

Checking with Namebench or DNSbench both tell me that DNS 192.168.2.1 is not responding.
However, when I use the combination of PiHole and PiVPN like explained on Marc Stan's site. I can see that DNS is resolved and that adds are blocked.
What problem is there that I cannot see?
