Using a custom blocklist

Help
1

Use Case

Create a custom blocklist 'playlist' for sites I want to 'turn off' when working but can turn on at other times. Similar to temporary disabling, but I want to be more selective on the sites I block.

Perhaps there is a better approach to do this with Pi-hole?

I've created a GitHub gist following the recommended hosts file convention.

I followed the guide How do I add additional block lists to Pi-hole?.

Expected Behaviour:

Adding a blocklist url to settings/blocklist, saving and updating, seeing new blocklist with successful retrieval status should block URL's in the new list.

Actual Behaviour:

I'm still able to see the site in the blocklist.

Debug Token:

Is this a bug or a feature request?

This isn't a bug but a general help question.

What is the output of these commands?

pihole -q worldstarhiphop.com
dig worldstarhiphop.com
5 
pihole -q worldstarhiphop.com

I see a match found for ads.worldstarhiphop.com in 3 of the 7 default blocklists.

dig worldstarhiphop.com

The answers section lists 4 records for worldstarhiphop.com each followed by '45 IN A IP address'.

Does this help?

Your gist is malformed. You shouldn't be seeing </td>, I don't know where that is coming from. Try using the raw format url for the gist.
