Pihole not blocking any ads after clean install

[jhanserd]

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

If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx instead of lighttpd, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

Expected Behaviour:

[I installed Pihole on my raspberry pi 5 with latest version of raspbian as I have done before without issue but this time around it is not blocking any ads. I have an TP-Link Archer A7 router and set the static address of the pi as the DNS server. My pi is connected via ethernet cable directly to the router.]

Actual Behaviour:

[No ads being blocked and I do not seen anything hitting the query log as well.]

Your router is advertising itself as DNS server:

      dns-server: 192.168.1.0
      dns-server: 192.168.1.1
      router: 192.168.1.1

Are you sure your devices are using Pi-hole?

[jfb]

From the bit of dnsmasq log included in your debug log, the Pi host is the only client making DNS queries.

My old memory card crashed so I had to do a clean install and no other devices are using pihole due to some issue with my configuration which you two have highlighted so just need to find a way to remedy this now.

latest update to the DNS servers on my router

[jfb]

Get rid of 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server. Pi-hole should be your ONLY DNS server.

Why should Pi-hole be my only DNS server?

Reduced Ad Blocking Capability The main reason you should Pi-hole as your only DNS server is that you will see increased performance in the blocking of ads. If you have two DNS servers (Pi-hole and something else), your network clients may not always query Pi-hole for name resolution. If a query happens to be answered from a non-Pi-hole DNS server, your block lists will not apply (since that DNS server doesn't know about them). All Queries Need To Go Through Pi-hole First Since other DNS se…

ok updated that and here are updated logs... https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/uC9KmiF3/

Your router is still advertising itself as DNS server (in conjunction with Pi-hole):

      dns-server: 192.168.1.100
      dns-server: 192.168.1.1
      router: 192.168.1.1

Try to set Pi-hole IP twice (Primary and Secondary), or set 0.0.0.0 as Secondary.

EDIT:
If your router doesn't allow 0.0.0.0, try to use some unused IP from your network, like 192.168.1.250 or even from a non-existent network, like 192.168.10.100

ok I updated the ip to be the same and also created another log
