Linux, ARMv6

Actual result

doesn't block any ads

Additional information and/or screenshots

previously, i install AdGuardHome at Unraid via custom bridge. but didn't because i installed everything on single machine, now i install it on Raspberry Pi 3 and still doesn't block any ads. I use TP-Link AX5400 as a router

i tried to follow instruction from other thread, but it didn't work like this
#5132
#4256

Use Hagezi Pro, OISD Big and Hagezi TIF, and most of them are gone. Some stay, because ads are delivered from same domain like the site itself. For that i recommend uBlock Origin.

And for phishing i also recommend my port:

Also double check if AdguardHome is updating the lists automatically.

Maybe you have DNS leak? You can check it with the site https://dnscheck.tools

And for the Hagezi List: The Ultimate List you use is enough. You dont need to add Pro++, because Ultimate is a list where it is included.

Is this issue only on your Windows PC or do other devices also show so many ads? Be sure no VPN or Proxy is evading your DNS.

If you can firewall on your router, block Port 53 TCP/UDP. Not necessary, but it is the last mile to block DNS leaks.

Ensure you don't have setup "secure dns" or such settings in your browsers, they might use other DNS servers.

And the Adaway and Adguard Lists are in every Hagezi list included.

If the last phishfort list is too big, there is also a small (hotlist):

AGH doesn't block any ads including phones and smart TVs. I have to tell you, this problem is not only in AGH but PiHole has same issue on my network. i only enable browser cloundflare dns on max protection settings on firefox

i added 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 on AX5400 but doesn't work

is Max Protection DNS setting on Firefox are included ? should i enable or not ?

i don't really have problem with the size, but most of dns blocklist i added doesn't block any ads

how you tell if this leaks or not ? i don't have any experience with this.
