Pihole not blocking ads. Is the router configuration correct?

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

  1. Earlier, Pihole worked right. I moved cities, switched ISPs & modems but kept same wifi router and RPI.
  2. Ensured RPI is the only DNS in router config
  3. RPI IP address
  4. That should be it. Flushed DNS from Pihole. Cleared cache from laptop. Restarted router as well as modem.

Actual Behaviour:

  1. No adblocking on FireTV as well as laptop on IE (Chrome as Adblock plugin so it works)

Debug Token:

Everything looks good in your debug log. Have you tried directly querying the Pi-hole?

nslookup pi.hole 192.168.1.10

Thanks. The output of nslook up is as follows:
Server: raspberrypi
Address: 192.168.1.10

Name: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.10

So it means, the set up is correct. Its just baffling why it wont work on IE.

Browsers can hold a lot in their caches. Clear the browser cache on IE, the restart IE.

Check to make sure that your devices are only using Pi-hole for DNS.

Thanks. cleaned up all cache but didnt work on laptop IE. But I do see statistics due to request from Amazon FireTV and other devices so looks like its working. Its just the ad test pages that are driving me nuts :slight_smile: Anyhow thank you for checking it. Will mark this as closed.

Thank you. I am doing this setting on wifi router level and all devices are wirelessly linked to it.

could it be IP v6? the router giving its own dns for ip v6?
