Expected Behaviour:
Going to the admin page/web interface should show stats etc.
Actual Behaviour:
Going to the admin page shows only a '403 - Forbidden' Message. DNS blocking is working though

Something is keeping lighttpd (the web server for the admin page) from running. What are the outputs of the following commands from the Pi terminal:
sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471'
sudo service lighttpd status
journalctl -u lighttpd
_sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471'_

Check the error log while accessing the admin page:
sudo tailf /var/log/lighttpd/error.log
Opening the admin page does not lead to additions to the error file, as shown below. This is after muttiple refreshes of the page, also including ctrl+F5 and also in multiple browsers (chrome and edge).
sudo tailf /var/log/lighttpd/error.log

Folder/file permissions & ownership looks good (same on mine).
But above 403 & 404 errors not.
This could be a misconfigured lighttpd.
Did you make any changes to the lighttpd config files ?
Or did you install other software that might have ?
pi@noads:~ $ man dpkg
-P, --purge package...|-a|--pending
Purge an installed or already removed package. This
removes everything, including conffiles. If -a or
--pending is given instead of a package name, then all
packages unpacked or removed, but marked to be purged in
file /var/lib/dpkg/status, are purged.
Note: some configuration files might be unknown to dpkg
because they are created and handled separately through
the configuration scripts. In that case, dpkg won't
remove them by itself, but the package's postrm script
(which is called by dpkg), has to take care of their
removal during purge. Of course, this only applies to
files in system directories, not configuration files
written to individual users' home directories.
Purging of a package consists of the following steps:
1. Remove the package, if not already removed. See
--remove for detailed information about how this is
done.
2. Run postrm script.
To reset everything to original state and restore the lighttpd config files, try purge the lighttpd package only (not dependencies) with below one:
sudo dpkg -P lighttpd
And reinstall (including dependencies):
sudo apt install --reinstall lighttpd
Might need to run Pi-hole repair afterwards to configure lighttpd properly:
pihole -r
This did the trick, thank you!
Thanks to Mcat12 and jfb as well!
That did the trick. I recently updated dietpi an that somehow messed up lighttpd. Uninstalled and ran repair et voila all good now.
Thanks for your help
