Ok My Web Ad Blocking /cryptojacking/hacking protection is not working; what am I doing wrong?

Pickle Rick

For the longest time (since I moved from SG 9.5 5 months ago) I thought that the blocking was working but then I checked my logs and nada so today I wanted to prove to myself and yeap NADA. (Raspberry Pi PIHOLE was doing the heavy lifting and XG17 was just sitting on it's laurels).

 

So I blocked Auctions to test this and neither EBAY, ALLEGRO, CRAIGSLIST is being blocked.  

 

Here are my settings.

    Hey Rick,

    what firewall rule is shown as passing the traffic in the logviewer?

    I have block ads and it works.

    Hi Rick,

    what rule does logviewer show that is passing the traffic?

    I also have the search engine enforcement enabled.

    I do find the reporting to be very strange. All the devices that access the web are shown as the web hosts.

    Update:- looking at your rules in greater detail I suspect your rule 10 is allowing the traffic out for the PI. Try disabling rule 10 and see what happens.
