I have over 3 million blocked domains and i'm facing a lot of problems, it would be nice if you guys can give me a list of domains that I should keep because most of my android/ios devices in the network are facing with problems such as Wi-Fi connectivity problems and so on. It was so difficult for me to create that 3 millions list.. yet I have no idea which ones to keep and whatnot.

What Pi-hole is updating the lists it needs to stop the DNS server, therefore you will lose DNS functionality unless you have cached entries. You normally don't need to have 3 million blocked domains, and a downside of having so many is that it will take longer for the DNS server to start back up.

Everything seems to work fine so far after doing what you said. I will try to reduce the amount of domains I have listed though! :smiley: they seem to be the ones causing a lot of problems for me. Thank you very much!
