I'm trying www.bet365.com just as a test but other domains fail to open as well. I tried adding them via ssh but its the same thing. Tried adding as regex and with or without "www." Also, going to the log and clicking the "whitelist" button on the side of the domain doesn't work either.
I'm not blocking domains for every computer in the network, just a few added to a group. I did notice in the debug log "id type enabled group_ids domain ", and all domains are in group id 0. Is this what's causing the problem? There is no option on gui to assign it to a specific group.
Also, not related but just curious. Am i not supposed to get a specific pihole webpage for a blocked domain with options to add it to the whitelist? All i get is a message from the browser saying it cant find the page.
You have configured 2 groups: default (ID 0) and Ads-blocked (ID 3). All configured clients are in group 3, as well as your adlist. But your whitelist entries are all in group 0, meaning all you whitelist don't work for your configured clients.
You can change the group assignment of the whitelist entries via Group Management/Domains.
Thanks a lot. Since Whitelists and Blacklists have their dedicated menu page on the left, i didn't thought to check the domains option, i thought it would be normal for the group assignment for lists to be in their dedicated pages.
About pihole not giving me a dedicated page when a domain is blocked, is this normal?
This is normal. The default blocking mode is NULL, which offers the best performance but no block page. There are blocking modes that you can select that do offer a block page, but these are limited to http pages and are very limited use, since there aren't many http pages left on the internet.
