Hi guys,
my PiHole is blocking websites, which are not on a blocklist, even after website added to whitelist. They are still blocked even after pihole set to disabled. Tested browsers Brave and Edge. Affected are all devices in my household.
Blocked websites:
revanced.net
rt.com
When I select DNS provider in Brave to Cloudflare , pages load OK.
When I select DNS provider in Brave to OS Default (which is PiHole according to my router's DHCP), pages won't load.
Pi-hole running on RPi 4.
Upstream DNS Servers : Cloudflare (DNSSEC)
Use DNSSEC is ON
No matter what Upstream DNS Server I choose, or shitch DNSSEC support off, nothing changes.
I did Flush network table, Restart DNS resolver with no change.
When I add Local DNS domain in DNS Records menu, revanced.net load OK, rt.com still won't load. This is really strange behaviour.
You can check how pihole is handing a specific domain using the followig command from the pihole:
pihole -q -exact domain
So try pihole -q -exact revanced.net
and see what the results are.
root@raspberrypi:~# pihole -q -exact revanced.net
Exact match found in exact whitelist
revanced.net
So its whitelisted and this is blocked even if pihole is disabled. This doesn't seem like a pihole issue but lets check how it resolves using a different resolver.
From the pihole try:
dig revanced.net
dig @1.1.1.1 revanced.net
root@raspberrypi:~# dig @1.1.1.1 revanced.net
; <<>> DiG 9.16.44-Debian <<>> @1.1.1.1 revanced.net

Also post the dig revanced.net for comparison.

So both resolve the domain just fine. This sounds like a browser related issue. Do you actually see blocked messages in the pihole?
I dont see any error message in Pi-hole. But in this cmd output, the IP address is different from originat website address.
should be 104.21.76.63 and not 217.119.121.226

It is interesting. Doing a host revanced.net gives me:
revanced.net has address 172.67.190.236
revanced.net has address 104.21.76.63
revanced.net has IPv6 address 2606:4700:3036::6815:4c3f
revanced.net has IPv6 address 2606:4700:3037::ac43:beec
revanced.net mail is handled by 58 route1.mx.cloudflare.net.
revanced.net mail is handled by 79 route3.mx.cloudflare.net.
revanced.net mail is handled by 34 route2.mx.cloudflare.net.
and dig gives me the same:
revanced.net. 117 IN A 104.21.76.63
revanced.net. 117 IN A 172.67.190.236
What do you get with this command:
dig +short NS revanced.net
it should come back as:
pat.ns.cloudflare.com.
armfazh.ns.cloudflare.com.
root@raspberrypi:~# dig +short NS revanced.net
armfazh.ns.cloudflare.com.
pat.ns.cloudflare.com.
nslookup.io DNS records for revanced.net
Pr0metheus2:
BOGUS (NSEC(3) missing)
So that is correct. These BOGUS (NSEC(3) missing) are DNSSEC related messages so validation looks like its failing.
I wll admit that I'm not versed on DNSSEC. I don't use. Dig can do some validation. Try
this command:
dig DNSKEY revanced.net +short
root@raspberrypi:~# dig DNSKEY revanced.net +short
217.119.121.226
How about:
dig DS revanced.net +trace
root@raspberrypi:~# dig DS revanced.net +trace

Is that the full output? It seems to hit the TLD and then fail. When I run the command I get:
