Pi-hole not filtering ads

Hello,

I've installed a Pi-hole server on EC2 using the Arch Linux AMI from Uplink Laboratories. I followed the wiki so what I did is:

- installed pi-hole-server from AUR
- uncommented "conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d/,*.conf" from /etc/dnsmasq.conf
- added log-queries=extra
- restarted and enabled dnsmasq.service
- pihole updateGravity
- pihole logging on
- pihole tail
- locally set up to use my new DNS server (/etc/resolv.conf is showing it correctly)
- cleared Chrome cache
- navigate around and ads still showing up
- nothing is logged by pihole
- nslookup archlinux.org -my server address- => still nothing logged in pihole

Why nothing gets logged by "pihole tail" and why ads are still loaded?

Re: Pi-hole not filtering ads

Are you routing internet traffic through PiHole?

Re: Pi-hole not filtering ads

Probably not. I think my DNS server is just forwarding requests to Google's DNS servers.

How do you do that?

Re: Pi-hole not filtering ads

What is the IP of the pihole box?
Post the output of `cat /etc/resolv.conf`

Re: Pi-hole not filtering ads

Locally:

➜  ~ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 52.214.17.59

The IP address is 52.214.17.59

Re: Pi-hole not filtering ads

Did you configure the web GUI?  If so, are you seeing traffic at all?

Re: Pi-hole not filtering ads

No, I didn't configured it.

I do this on the server

[root@ip-172-31-7-138 ~]# pihole tail
  [i] Press Ctrl-C to exit
11:09:55 dnsmasq[13624]: 6 80.82.77.139/54631 reply direct.shodan.io is 216.117.2.180

I do this from local

➜  ~ nslookup archlinux.org 52.214.17.59                         
Server:		52.214.17.59
Address:	52.214.17.59#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	archlinux.org
Address: 138.201.81.199
Name:	archlinux.org
Address: 2a01:4f8:172:1d86::1

Nothing gets logged on the server. Why?

If `/etc/resolv.conf` is showing the correct DNS server I guess I'm actually using it.

Re: Pi-hole not filtering ads

Well, you got something misconfigured... recommend you re-read the wiki article and verify setup is correct.

Re: Pi-hole not filtering ads

I'm sorry, but from my understanding the wiki just says to
- install pi-hole-server
- set up dnsmasq by changing a couple of lines (which I did)

The wiki is not helping here.

Re: Pi-hole not filtering ads

It's been too long since I had to tinker with pi-hole.  Recommend you try posting to their upstream discussion board: https://discourse.pi-hole.net
