right after the 2nd acquittal of the President, my pi-hole started blocking freerepublic as well as some links on other right wing sites (such as ben shapiro's site.) I whitelisted it but just a heads up to those with pi-holes!
If you want a list of my adlists, pm me.
Can you be any more vague?
unresolved DNS msg when on my wifi. looked at the log and sure enough freerepublic.com was listed as blocked. i’ve had my pi hole for 3 months and FR was never blocked
blocked (gravity)
Mine has not. Have you updated? Some list may be rogue. Do a gravity update and compare to this log.

I have had no issues at all.
WTF is a pi-hole?
Something to do with a Raspberry Pi?
What the hell are you talking about? “Pi-hole?” Is that a new search engine?
I was told to shut my pie hole.
will do, i updated about 4 weeks ago
LOL... wasnt intended for people not running their own DNS server. We elite, the computeratti, run a pihole (a DNS server) on our internal networks that block ads network wide. Peasants see ads. We don’t. ;-)
“WTF is a pi-hole?

I always thought it was a big mouth.
I am well aware of DNS and have set up DNS servers. Pi-hole is a trade name that I have never heard of.
no it is an ad blocking DNS sinkhole running a linux based operating system on a raspberry pi. on my router, it won’t let me use it natively as a DHCP server,though
unless it is within an embedded app :(
moving target
That’s what it is around me, as in “shut your piehole...”
Pi-hole has the ability to block traditional website advertisements as well as advertisements in unconventional places, such as smart TVs and mobile operating system advertisements.
It does. It is an add blocking DNS server you run on a Pi (and some other hardware as well). It runs internal on your network as your DNS server bypassing your ISP DNS server. It is fast and efficient. It eliminates 95% + ads you see browsing.
You can even run it where it becomes a high level server querying the root servers, and not relays. That slows it down a bit on the first query to a domain record, but that takes some maintenance.
Running it vanilla takes no maintenance other than updating it when new releases come out. I have taken an old PC and installed Pi-Hole on it for some corp clients. They don’t like all the ads either.
As a bonus Pi-hole blocks known malware domains.
Unless that app has a hardcoded ad server IP, even embedded apps. Youtube is a problem for some devices since they serve ads from the same servers as content and you cant block ads from an extension level on some devices.
What router? Turn off router DHCP and use the pihole for DHCP. That should solve your problem.
Oh, and go into raspi-config and set the pi to wait for network on boot and run a vpn client on your pi. Your DNS queries are none of your ISPs business.
Pi are round. Cornbread are square.
