Hey guys,

i have installed pihole(latest version) a few days ago and what can i say it works like a charm 🙂 except one thing.  
My whitelist is not working. Maybe i am doing it wrong ?

I have tried to put the domain to the WL by clicking "whitelist" in the guid. I also have tried it through the cli (also tried it with regex), but nothing is working:

it is listened in the whiltelist:

but still blocked:

what am i missing?

Edit: Blacklisting works for e.g. youtube

This client is assigned to group number 3

```auto
** [DIAGNOSING]: Clients
   id group_ids ip date_added date_modified comment                                           
   ---- ------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------- --------------------------------------------------
   1 3 10.0.10.111 2021-01-21 20:26:10 2021-01-22 12:58:08  

```

but the whitelist is for the default group (ID 0)

```auto
*** [DIAGNOSING]: Domainlist (0/1 = exact white-/blacklist, 2/3 = regex white-/blacklist)
   id type enabled group_ids domain date_added date_modified comment

Add `10.0.10.111` to the default group or add the whitelist entries to group `3`, respectivly.
