Hi all,

I have installed Pi-hole in a docker container on my NAS. Set my pfSense Router as the upstream DNS. Also set pfSense to re-direct any rogue devices/apps that try to access DNS port 53/853 directly back to Pi-hole.

Here’s what is happening with my DNS, on Windows 11, set to the Pi-hole address.

Cannot browse to doubleclick.net

nslookup, ping and tracert fails for doubleclick.net.

Here’s what is happening with my DNS, on Windows 11, set to a public DNS like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1

Can browse to doubleclick.net in any browser

nslookup, ping and tracert fails for doubleclick.net.

Why can I still browse to doubleclick.net yet nslookup or ping or tracert will fail?

TIA
