Hi, i have a PiHole server configured as DHCP and DNS server in my home network. The problem is that it block ads only on Windows devices, for example, my Linux laptop or my Android phone still have ads on websites. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:
pihole -d
or do it through the Web interface:
Tools > Generate Debug Log
here's the token URL: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/G02ThVfS/
Please run from your linux laptop
dig pi.hole
dig flurry.com
dig flurry.com @192.168.1.148
The results are a bit unexpected, esp. the returned A record for pi.hole Your Pi-hole should have answered with its own IP 192.168.1.148 but instead it answered with the public IP 35.152.xx.xx.
Are you connected via VPN from your Laptop to your Pi-hole (I see you use wireguard on the server)?
No from the laptop i'm connected directly with wifi. I use WireGuard on Android when i'm outside
And does your Pi-hole machine have a permanent VPN connection to some place? What happens if you shutdown the VPN on your Pi-hole?
How can i shutdown it?
I don't know. It looks like your have a wireguard interface and pivpn setup. Check with their documentation.
i turned off the wireguard interface with "sudo ip link set wg0 down" but i'm still having ads...
P.S. If i connect through WireGuard on Android this problem is fixed, i have no ads
With wirguard off, please repeat
the results are the same...
At this point you might want to post a diagram of your home network for further clarification. The 35.152.x.x address looks as though you have pihole installed on an AWS instance.
No, my PiHole is installed on a Ubuntu Server VM on a Proxmox server i have in my home.
you probably first need to figure out where does this address coming from
I don't know, they're not from my home network
if you don't know, how are we supposed to know or help without knowing your network configuration. At this point we can only do so much except guessing and point to where you should be investigating.
Good Luck
