Youtube running fine with ATV and AFTV but not in OSX

[ak-media]

Hi,

my Pi-Hole works overall great!
Unfortenately no Ads where blocked when I use my MacBook to watch Youtube.

The DNS is set to the IP of the Pi on all machines in my house.
Any suggestions?

Cheers
Andi

Then, about 10 seconds later, a little grey box with a frowning file icon will appear wher…

Thanks for the link.
What I do not understand is the fact, that on my Amazon Fire TV any ads on YouTube are blocked, but not on my MacOS-Machines…

That's part of what we are trying to figure it out. Some people see ads, some hardly ever do. It works on some devices, not on others.
