      This one I may not be able to do anything about, but sitting here watching the kid flip between Minecraft and Youtube, I see that he is getting ads on Youtube, even with the pi-hole running.

      I need to review the event logs, but - is anyone running;

        Pi-hole won't block youtube ads, at least not the in-video ads. You need youtube premium to get rid of them, no way to block those I'm afraid.

          Noted - I don't get ads on the PC(s), likely due to different adblocker there.

          and well - dang.

            How are they being blocked on the PC... something other than blacklists/DNS not resolve...

              My default had been to install adblocker when building a PC,.. so it's likely still running even with the pi-hole running.

                Right, but how do most of those work? as far as I know they work by blocking DNS queries
