Hey everyone,

I’m facing a frustrating issue with Pi-hole, and I’m hoping you can help me out. I’ve tried setting up Pi-hole as both the DHCP server and with a static IP, but ads are still slipping through.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  • Pi-hole Status: sudo pihole status

confirms everything is running fine.

  • DNS Settings: Devices are using the correct IP for DNS (Pi-hole).
  • Block Lists: I updated the lists using pihole -g

.

  • Router Settings: I tried setting Pi-hole as the DHCP server, and also with a static IP – no luck.
  • Restarted: I restarted Pi-hole and my devices multiple times.

Despite all this, ads persist. It’s driving me crazy!

Any ideas on what might be going wrong? I would truly appreciate any suggestions or solutions you can offer.
