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:

Hi, i recently installed Pihole in Docker on my Raspberry. Im using Docker because i have an instance of OMV running with a RAID System attached im using as a NAS. I did everything several guides told me to do. I got the System itself up and running. I configured my Router, Speedport Smart 4, to use my Raspberry as the DNS.

Actual Behaviour:

The Webpanel shows there are no clients and the network interface is not using pihole currently. In addition it shows nothing is blocked and no querries are active. I just cant it get to work and i need urgent help here please

Your debug log shows your Pi-hole to be fully operational:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Name resolution (IPv4) using a random blocked domain and a known ad-serving domain
[✓] ads.adual.net is 0.0.0.0 on lo (127.0.0.1)
[✓] ads.adual.net is 0.0.0.0 on eth0 (192.168.2.201)
[✓] doubleclick.com is 172.217.19.78 via a remote, public DNS server (8.8.8.8)

However, your router is distributing its own IP address as DNS server:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Discovering active DHCP servers (takes 10 seconds)
   Scanning all your interfaces for DHCP servers
   
   * Received 300 bytes from eth0:192.168.2.1
     Offered IP address: 192.168.2.35
     DHCP options:
      Message type: DHCPOFFER (2)
      router: 192.168.2.1
      dns-server: 192.168.2.1

Furthermore, your Pi-hole has not received any DNS request:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: contents of /var/log/pihole

So it would seem that none of your clients are using Pi-hole for DNS yet.

Please read through Post-Install - Pi-hole documentation.
