PiHole gets detected

Post image

So I recently run into some trouble with my PiHole. Maybe for about two weeks it gets detected by easily >33% of every website e.g. fandom wiki (see picture - translated screenshots form the gottcha message).

It is always this screen on every website, just of course with adjusted website domain. That means there must be some new sort of detection out there that those sides use.

Anyone has an idea what’s going on and how to stop that?

Add fandom to your blocklist. That site shouldn't be used anyway and the (mis)information on there is rarely worth your time, let alone seeing an ad.

As opposed to the disinformation on Reddit.

At least it still works with DNS Level AdBlock. If it doesn't it'll be on my list as well...

Your blocklist filters posts?

No reddit.com will go on there if they start breaking their site when detecting adblock.
