whitelist domains and allow them to be used through my browsers. As well as displaying a blocked by pihole message for those not allowed
Whitelist changes nothing, display default browser message when it cannot reach a web address.

funneling dns traffic through DNSCrypt. I can ping the sites ips but domains are blocked
What did you use to modify the whitelist? Also, do you get a block page if you go to a blocked site via HTTP (not HTTPS)?
It looks like your whitelist is working, because there's queries being made for some whitelisted sites which are correctly answered.
So its interesting. I restarted my pi and it unblocked the pages I white listed for a bit. About an hour later they're blocked again.
When the pages are blocked, what is the output of pihole -q domain and nslookup domain where domain is the blocked domain?
pi@Kodi-Pi:~ $ pihole -q coin-hive.com

Run pihole -d for a new debug token. Have you installed Pi-hole without the web interface? Also, what is the result of those last commands but on a domain you whitelisted?
Debug token: 3xc9zat9sn
I had added coin-hive to the whitelist so it should have been on there. Its also affecting the supportxmr.com site among a few other sites on my whitelist.
If you answer all of my questions I would be able to pin down your issue better. Have you run pihole -g?
It looks like your upstreams may be blocking the domains:
Nov 17 14:47:17 dnsmasq[1446]: query[A] coin-hive.com from 192.168.1.1
Nov 17 14:47:17 dnsmasq[1446]: forwarded coin-hive.com to 127.0.0.4
Nov 17 14:47:17 dnsmasq[1446]: reply coin-hive.com is 0.0.0.0
I used the web ui to add to the whitelist.
I have not installed pi-hole without the web ui. If you don't see anything then maybe its the dnscrypt providers blocking those sites. After work I'll try and switch to a different dnscrypt provider and see if this issue persist.
