Hi everyone
Expected Behaviour:
I was testing my Pihole installation, doing some Nslookups to verify if it was working as expected, when I discovered that the domain ads-api.tiktok.com was resolving to its IP address when it was supposed to return 0.0.0.0.
C:\Users\marci>nslookup ads-api.tiktok.com
Servidor: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.2.20
Não é resposta autoritativa:
Nome: e35058.api5.akamaiedge.net
Addresses: 2.17.162.176
2.17.162.168
2.17.162.173
Aliases: ads-api.tiktok.com
ads-api.tiktok.com.edgekey.net
I did a pihole -q ads-api.tiktok.com, and the domain is currently on a list.
Match found in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/refs/heads/main/domains/ultimate.txt:
ads-api.tiktok.com
Despite being in the above list, Pihole is resolving the domain. I blacklisted the domain manually in the Query Log, and then I rerun the Nslookup.
C:\Users\marci>nslookup ads-api.tiktok.com
Servidor: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.2.20
Nome: ads-api.tiktok.com
Addresses: ::
0.0.0.0
I noticed that some domains that are on my lists are blocked, e.g. (ads.google.com), and some are not blocked as the following:
C:\Users\marci>nslookup ads.google.com
Servidor: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.2.20
Nome: ads.google.com
Addresses: ::
0.0.0.0
C:\Users\marci>nslookup edge.ads.twitch.tv
Servidor: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.2.20
Não é resposta autoritativa:
Nome: edge.ads.twitch.tv
Addresses: 65.8.214.91
65.8.214.62
65.8.214.71
65.8.214.114
To make sure, I searched for the domain edge.ads.twitch.tv on my lists, and it is there but not being blocked.
Exact matches for edge.ads.twitch.tv found in:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/refs/heads/main/domains/ultimate.txt
Any suggestion would be very appreciated.
