Upgraded to Raspberry Pi 5 and did a fresh install of Pi Hole but nothing seems to be working

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

If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx, apache2 or another reverse proxy, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

Expected Behaviour:

Upgraded to a Raspberry Pi 5 using the full os, did a fresh install of PiHole along with PiVPN and set my DHCP Server to have my piHole as sole DNS Server. updated adlists from suggested sources.

Actual Behaviour:

The PiHole does not block any of the ads. have tried a few websites with Edge (because of no ad-block extensions installed) and all ads seems to be still present.

Debug Token:

Your lists are not assigned to any groups. This means Pi-hole is not using them and nothing will be blocked.

The group_ids column is empty:

Every list should be assigned to at least one group if you want to use them. You only have one group (Default - ID=0).

On the web interface, go to Lists page and assign each list to Default group:

Thank you so much. this has completely fixed my problem! When I added the lists, i chose the Group Assignment to "Default" group, not sure why it didnt assign after clicking "Add Blocklist".

anyways, thanks again for the help!
