The issue I am facing:
I try to visit the webpage open.spotify.com to have the web player of Spotify running in my browser, but I can't reach the webpage because pihole blocks it
2021-09-25 20:35:11 A open.spotify.com Carontes.fritz.box OK, answered by localhost#54321 BLOB (0.9ms)
every website marked as "BLOB" aren't reachable. How can I fix it? I've already whitelisted the above domain and all the others realted to spotify. Thank you
What's the upstream DNS server at localhost#54321?
Run from a client, what's the ouput of:
nslookup open.spotify.com pi.hole
Also, please upload a debug log and post just the token that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:
This would seem to be the BLOB that Pi-hole is receiving as answer from your DNSCrypt instance, which in turn would suggest that DNSCrypt itself is blocking the request.
You'd have to unblock your domains in DNSCrypt as well, or disable filtering/blocking in DNSCrypt altogether.
I completely forgot I had the balcklist.txt and ip-blacklist.txt with DNSCrypt, so I've deleted the spotify reference from blacklist.txt and now it works. The solution was simple but I forgot I had those two files. When I'll see another BLOB result in pi-hole I know where to look for. Thank you for your support.
