Hi, your setup looks well configured, but there might be a few things affecting your results. Check if your Pi-hole is properly updating its DNS records and ensuring it's resolving the correct domains. Also, verify that the Unified Controller’s default gateway points to Pi-hole correctly. Make sure your OpenSense router is using the right DNS settings and that queries are being routed through the intended path. If you're still seeing ads despite these adjustments, consider clearing the cache or testing with a different domain to isolate the issue.

Many people today rely on DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS. You might need to turn it off manually or block popular servers, though HTTPS could complicate things. These methods also disrupted network-based adblocking. I suggest checking out this site: https://browserleaks.com/proxy

Consider testing the site directly without ads. If you encounter issues, it might be due to DNS configuration or missing pi-hole support.

Many blocked domains don't always indicate the right ones are restricted. Which lists are you referring to? It's also possible your devices or gateway are switching to a backup DNS. Make sure you're relying solely on pihole for DNS resolution.

I'm still encountering ads, possibly due to an incorrect configuration. In OPNsense, under Services > DHCPv4 > LAN, your Pi‑hole IP appears as the DNS server (3rd screenshot). Yet when you open Pi‑hole and view the dropdown, the client IP shown differs from the one you use to access it. Is this setup wrong or am I missing something? Please note that you need to navigate to 192.168.0.99 to reach your pihole admin page, which you configured as your DNS server in OPNsense. If everything is set correctly at that location, the issue remains unresolved.

Check the DHCP server configuration to ensure clients receive DNS via the assigned IP instead of the router's default.

I set up my Unifi Controller and Unifi API as they are. I’m unsure how to configure the Controller to utilize Pihole for routing.

You probably don't need a unifi gateway for your DNS settings. The issue might be elsewhere, like how your device is handling the traffic or the ads you're seeing. Check your network configuration and ad blockers.

It's not connected to Unification unless you have one. The DNS and DHCP settings should be configured on your router or gateway. No action needed with Unifi in this case.

Let me know what you're trying to troubleshoot, and if you can provide details about your Pihole configuration. I'll help identify potential issues.
