The issue I am facing:
I have blocked adform.net
I can still load https://s2.adform.net/banners/scripts/st/trackpoint-async.js [is a tracking js]
I can see logs in http://pi.hole/admin/taillog.php so I am pretty sure my windows is using pihole as dns
BUT when I open the browser at this address, NO QUERY IS DONE at pihole, and the page is served.
I tried opening chrome devtool and disabling cache, to force, I hoped, a new dns query, but nothing happens.
Details about my system:
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/r0w3h4lnzj
What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
I am using OpenVPN, so pihole is listening only at tun0
Also I configured DOH [Redirecting... ]
No page load ever passes through Pi-hole.
When your browser tries to access https://s2.adform.net/banners/scripts/st/trackpoint-async.js
, it will send a DNS request for s2.adform.net
to Pi-hole , and that is all that Pi-hole ever sees: DNS requests.
Since s2.adform.net
does not match your blocked adform.net
, Pi-hole will retrieve an IP and answer it to your browser.
You'd have to add the more specific domain to your blocklist, or add adform.net
as a wildcard domain.
I can see in FTL log this
Nov 30 17:46:54 dnsmasq[1097]: query[A] adx.adform.net from 10.8.0.3
Nov 30 17:46:54 dnsmasq[1097]: gravity blocked adx.adform.net is 0.0.0.0
Anyway, my browser CAN load from this domain...
As I said initially, I am pushing DNS and usign pihole using OpenVPN
I can see that TAP adapter is really using pihole as dns, of course it is obvious because I am seeing query requestes through pihole itself.
But my ethernet adapter is still using my router as DNS. I don't know if it's usual or if can be source of this problem.
I am using OpenVPN + pihole in my android phone and in my ipad and all see ALL ads blocked, without problems.
