RegEx filter doesn't block *.doubleclick.net

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

Adding (.|^)doubleclick.net$ as a wildcard domain should afaik also block domains like securepubads.g.doubleclick.net

-Latest DietPi
-Raspberry Pi Zero 1.3

Actual Behaviour:

Pi-Hole forwards securepubads.g.doubleclick.net and doesn't block it.

Debug Token:

EDIT

I just noticed that securepubads.g.doubleclick.net is present in some of my adlists too.

(I can't paste the query output here so you can find it here)

A few observations from your debug log:

You aren't running our distributed code - yours has been locally modified:

You have three clients assigned to a different management group than the default group. The doubleclick regex is applied to group 0 (the default group) only. If the client from which you are able to load this domain is in the other group, the regex won't be applied to that client.

Thanks a lot. I totally missed that and I'm gonna edit my groups accordingly now. Also, I installed Pi-Hole from DietPi's dietpi-software cmd. Maybe that's why it looks like it has been modified.

I guess they think making every file executable is a good security practice.
