Worse performance on connected devices?

Help
1

Hello,

I have setup pi hole and got it working. (nslookup responds to standard domains and blocks for example flurry.com)
However, when I attempt to run an adblock tester in my windows device's browser, as well as using my phone, they score about 65%. When trying the same tests directly from a browser on my raspberry pi, it scores 100%. I do not understand why there should be such a noticeable difference.

Are you sure these devices are using only Pi-hole as DNS server?

Also, are you sure your browser is not using DNS over HTTPS (DoH, secure DNS, private relay, etc.)?

Thanks for the reply!

I have entered my RPI ip address manually into both fields in DHCP lease settings on my router. Only RPI ip is shown under DNS servers when doing ipconfig /all.

I have tried enabling and disabling secure DNS both on my device and per browser. It always ends up around 60% blocked on the blocker tests.

Any other ideas which may help?
