Hey everyone and sorry for asking this. I know there are already many posts regarding this topic, but no answer could help me. I’ve installed pihole on a Raspberry Pi today, but ads in mobile apps on my android phone are not blocked. These are the things I’ve taken into account:
- configured pihole as DNS for both IPv4 and IPv6 in my router’s settings
- disabled Private DNS on android
- I’ve tried disabling IPv6 completely in my router’s settings
I’ve verified my phone is using pihole, by visiting some random website and looking for the query in pihole. However, when the ad on my phone starts playing, I can’t even seem to find a corresponding query which makes me wonder if the app somehow uses a different DNS? I also think it’s unlikely the ad is being streamed from the same origin as the main content like with YouTube, because it happens in almost all apps I’ve tested.
If anyone got a clue for me, I’d really appreciate that. Maybe I’m just missing something incredibly obvious :P
