Im running a Pihole on my Windows 10. Everything was working as expected until maybe a week ago when adblocking stopped working
No adblocking happens. On the web interface I notice very few queries going through the Pihole (Like 100 queries a day)

Thanks. I am running it through a VM on windows, apologies for not calling it out.
It was a problem with my router configuration, fixed it and all set here.
Thanks for the response
