Have you specified the device of the Pi as your DNS on your clients?

There's no way for them to pick it up unless specified ...

Yes, I have set the primary dns in my router to the static ip of my pi, with a secondary to 1.1.1.1 as a backup.

When using a secondary DNS queries will slip though it (the secondary DNS does NOT kick in ONLY when DNS1 has an outage).

Run a nslookup flurry.com on a client and the same command on the pi-hole device.

What is the output ?

I didnt realize that. let me issue that lookup

Server: raspberrypi
Address: 192.168.7.15

Name: flurry.com
Address: 192.168.7.15

This looks good. You should see a blocked entry in your query log now.

What about the same command executed on a client device (computer).

same thing on a client device, and unfortunately nothing on the blocked. i did also remove secondary dns entry too.

Based on the above nslookup, the query was intercepted and router to the raspberry pi.

Your web interface shows no queries ?

Try clearing cache and cookies.

It should show.

done and done, still nada

What's the output of pihole -v and dnsmasq -v ?

pihole -v
Pi-hole version is v3.2.1 (Latest: v3.3.1)
AdminLTE version is v3.2.1 (Latest: v3.3)
FTL version is v3.0 (Latest: v3.0)

what about curl http://192.168.7.15/admin/api.php

what happens when you try to open flurry.com on the device? Do you get a Pi-hole splash page like this:

Interesting, i receive a blocked message just as you show, however the dashboard still shows 0.
Tried this via gui on the pi, and a windows client with the same result.

Ok. I think this will fix your issue:

Try it in one line:

sudo service pihole-FTL stop && sudo mv /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db.old && sudo service pihole-FTL start

Back online, but still 0's in the dashboard.

I thought we had it that time =)
