If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx, apache2 or another reverse proxy, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

Expected Behaviour:

I’ve followed online guides to setup my rpi on an older model B pi i had lying around.

Actual Behaviour:

I can see my devices when logging into ip/admin and it shows that i am getting hits. But I would say pretty much every site i go to displays ads, some of my test ones include - cnn.com, speedtest.net etc
Unsure if configured properly or something is bypassing.

On my desktop PC connected to network i had cloudflare installed which ive fulled removed. I’ve reset network adaptors and flushed dns and renewed IP but every 0.2ms it seems to ping connectivity-check.warp-svc - I’ve disabled but would like for it to stop if possible?

Unsure if configured properly or something is bypassing.

Your debug log shows the router is advertising Pi-hole, but it is also advertising itself as DNS server:

      router: 192.168.0.1
      dns-server: 192.168.0.240
      dns-server: 192.168.0.1

This will bypass Pi-hole.

Remove 192.168.0.1 as DNS server from your router settings.

Thank you for pointing out where I went wrong.

I had the router IP listed under default gateway for DHCP settings and I guess this was my problem. Bit obvious but I couldn’t find for the life of me.

Once removed and rebooted router and pi it seems to be working as expected
