Website blocked / not found on any Blacklist / local DNS record

[Max-Mustermann]

With newest pihole version I am faced with:

• add Local DNS record in Pihole, domain pihole.local + IP 192.168.178.6
  
• when accessing pihole.local getting page with "Website Blocked":
  
  

Whats the reason for that? Just matched a "friendly" name to internal IP of my PI?!

Thats the way lighttpd is configured for Pi-hole.
It doesnt know/isn't configured for that pihole.local domain and gives you the 404 eror page defined below:

pi@ph5:~ $ cat /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
[..]
server.document-root        = "/var/www/html"
server.error-handler-404    = "/pihole/index.php"

Probably below one does give you the web GUI ?

http://pihole.local/admin/

EDIT: You can also access the web GUI with below:

http://pi.hole

thx for the quick heads-up
and yes - working with /admin/ in URL
Was bit confused about the page and the statement "not found on any blacklist" which leads in wrong direction for fixing

Yeah thats a remnant of how Pi-hole used to be default setup in the past.
In the past, blocked domains were redirected to the Pi-hole IP that would show the blocking page.
Currently, the default is to redirect to 0.0.0.0 and dont show a blocking page at all:

Blocking mode - Pi-hole documentation

This because most ads come via HTTPS nowadays instead of HTTP which is nearly impossible to redirect properly to a HTTPS blocking page hosted on Pi-hole itself.
You would need to setup your own Certificate Authority, install your own cert on the clients and do whats called "man in the middle".
