PiHole running fine, but not blocking any ads

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

PiHole to block ads

Actual Behaviour:

It's receiving traffic and certainly blocking something, but I've yet to see a blocked ad

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/X4qrF1WV/

##Notes:
I'm seeing 28% of queries being blocked, and it's showing queries across all the clients on my network. But, I'm still getting served ads all over the web, even after checking programmatically served sites like Eurogamer or business insider

Run from the client where you are seeing ads, what are the following commands returning:

nslookup pi.hole

nslookup flurry.com

And if that client would run Windows:

ipconfig /all

For the latter, we'd only be interested in output from the DNS server section.

Thank you!

nslookup pi.hole

Server: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.189
Name: pi.hole
Addresses: fdb4:8a3b:1d96:0:a81a:2934:5b5d:7a3a
192.168.1.189

nslookup flurry.com

Server: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.189
Name: flurry.com
Addresses: ::
0.0.0.0

ipconfig /all
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.189
8.8.8.8

So does this mean that all the traffic isn't going through the pihole?

Indeed, your client may by-pass Pi-hole via 8.8.8.8 at its own discretion.
Pi-hole needs to be the sole DNS server for your clients.
