System Goes Offline-Blocklists Not Re-Added

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

Blocklists Stay Active

Actual Behaviour:

System somehow goes offline and blocklists are not re-added

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/193qv8y2cy

Additionally, when I ran sudo systemctl status, it reported the following:

raspberrypi
State: degraded
Jobs: 0 queued
Failed: 2 units

Yikes. I don't know enough of this system to know what that means. Help please and thank you!

Edited to add: I didn't know there was an update. I will update in the meantime.

You have:

   (^|\.)buffpanel\.com$
   (^|\.)redshell\.io$
   (^|\.)treasuredata\.com$
   (^|\.)unity(|3d)\.com$
   (^|\.)unityads(|\.co)\.com$

in your adlists. They are not URLs to lists to download. You'll need to remove them and try pihole -g again.

That's weird. I removed them via the web UI a couple of days ago. But thank you.

Those lists will not go away. Every time I remove them and update gravity, they re-appear in my blocklists:

[i] Target: (^|.)buffpanel.com$ ((^|.)buffpanel.com$)
[βœ—] Status: Connection Refused
[βœ—] List download failed: no cached list available

[i] Target: (^|.)redshell.io$ ((^|.)redshell.io$)
[βœ—] Status: Connection Refused
[βœ—] List download failed: no cached list available

[i] Target: (^|.)treasuredata.com$ ((^|.)treasuredata.com$)
[βœ—] Status: Connection Refused
[βœ—] List download failed: no cached list available

[i] Target: (^|.)unity(|3d).com$ ((^|.)unity(|3d).com$)
[βœ—] Status: Connection Refused
[βœ—] List download failed: no cached list available

[i] Target: (^|.)unityads(|.co).com$ ((^|.)unityads(|.co).com$)
[βœ—] Status: Connection Refused
[βœ—] List download failed: no cached list available

Edit: They have been removed (for sure!). This time I removed them via the terminal ( sudo nano etc/pihole/adlists.list) then ran pihole -g. I guess that’s what I get for relying too much on the UI.

Thanks again.
