Pihole on Mobile and Tablet

[Wannausepihole]

**The issue I am facing: On cell phone and tablet, no difference

**Details about my system: Installed on Pi3, without Docker. Used single command to install on Raspian (Latest)

**What I have changed since installing Pi-hole: N/A
First of all, my hat off to the developers of this project. Being 70 years and in wheelchair, I do spend most of my time online, either with laptop or a mobile device. I did poke around some posts before writing this. And will check further and read further. There are a couple of things that I need to verify
My (Stupid) question or advice: Since I live in Rome, Italy, would affect the "Blocking Power" of pihole. I did use only what was installed. On the laptop, lets say the the bs ads are not as bad than the mobile devices. There are some sites that I cannot read the content due to ads. With my attitude, the more you cram in my throat, the more I stay away.
Little confused on the lists, I guess. Seems like the more I looked, the muddier the water became (In my case) I just a nudge where to look. If I crash, I can always reinstall. Certainely, there are a few things that I don't understand.
As far I can tell I have used static ip 192.168.1.15 and where it asks for DNS I used 192.168.1.15 and for testing used DNS 2 8.8.8.8.. On the right track? I have read someone in the community how to test. Will find and proceed. Again, Mainly my cell and tablet on Italian sites, 90% bs and 10% content.
Forgive me for not being the sharpest tool in the shed.

Thanks ahead for any suggestions,
Peter

Little confused on the lists

The adlists are external text files which contain lists of domains that Pi-hole can block. These are usually known ad-serving domains, but they can also be specific to a service, for example some people find a Facebook list and add that to Pi-hole. Now most of the domains used by Facebook would be blocked.

Pi-hole includes a single list which is working right out of the box so you don't need to do anything really. If you would like to add more lists, The Firebog site is a good source. The lists in green are the safest ones (they block ads and trackers well without over-blocking).

To add a list from here you simply right-click it in your browser and copy the link. Your browser might call this "Copy Link", "Copy URL", "Copy Address", etc. Then go into Pi-hole's Adlists, paste the link into the Address box where it says "Add a new adlist", and then click Add. That's the list added. You can add more lists this way.

Finally, tell Pi-hole to update its database (which it calls Gravity). To do that, go to Tools > Update Gravity > click Update. Stay on that page until it's done. You are now using all your adlists. Pi-hole will automatically check them each week and grab any updates.

and where it asks for DNS I used 192.168.1.15 and for testing used DNS 2 8.8.8.8

Go into Settings > DNS and look at the Upstream DNS Servers. These are the servers used by Pi-hole when it has not blocked a domain. You ideally want to select a couple of items here. For example you might select just the bottom left two boxes for to use Cloudflare's IPv4 servers. All the others, including Custom on the upper right, should be unticked.

You need to tell your router to give out Pi-hole to clients as the DNS server to use. That way, all your computers, tablets, phones, etc will know to use Pi-hole for DNS. To do this means logging in to your router, finding the DHCP section and finding the DNS addresses in there, and changing them so it's just the Pi-hole's address. It's difficult to help with that part because it depends on your router and how it is configured.

If you would like to create a debug log, this will help show if everything else looks okay. To do this go to Tools > Generate debug log. Tick [x] Upload debug log and provide Debug Token. Then click Generate debug log. At the end it will give you a debug URL in green text. Copy that and paste it into a reply to this and I'll take a look.
