i've just set it up and haven't added anything to the blacklist (or white list for that matter)....just set it up, changed the DNS in the router and found I couldn't access anything much. I thought that was all it needed :)

On the Pi Hole I have the upstream set to use Cloudflare but I have also tried Google and OpenDNS. I will have to do some more reading as it almost seems it is being too aggressive as 'some' traffic is getting through (odd things like Instagram work but Twitter, imager, Reddit don't.

Hi kvic. I tried what you suggested (this is also how I originally tried) but doing this not only blocks the ads it blocks all internet traffic. I have just tried again with the same result. Going to the address below it says that I am blocking ads but I get no internet pages to load up...

Thanks for your help tomsk but no luck :( going to start everything over from scratch again

Yes, the pi-hole is confirmed to be forwarding to an upstream DNS (Cloudflare) and no, I am leaving the router to take care of the DHCP server

Thanks tomsk. I am sure I tried that too but I will give it another try. Do I need to change any of the other setting in there? currently setup like; Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS = yes Forward local domain queries to upstream DNS = no Enable DNSSEC support = no

I am sure I am missing something really obvious but it has got me beat! I recently setup a pi-hole, plugged it in and set it's IP address to manual and then used this address in the 'WAN DNS setting' section. Problem is that this stopped all internet traffic! Is there something I am missing...
