Details On The Zero Blocked Bug

The zero blocked queries bug in the Web interface turned out to do with the hostname of your device. The bug does not affect the actual operation of Pi-hole–queries are still being blocked–it’s just they’re not displaying correctly on the Admin UI.

If it pertains to words contained in the line /etc/pihole/gravity.list (e.g hostname is pihole, pi, hole, gravity, etc etc.) then the lines in /var/log/pihole.log that contain /etc/pihole/gravity.list (used to identify blocked queries) will be discounted!
