I have two pi-holes on my home network, but I’m noticing that when I open links using Connect’s built in browser, I’m being served display ads when I normally wouldn’t be. When I open the links with an external browser no ads are displayed. Is the app using a hardcoded DNS server when making requests to the links? Is there a way to stop that so it instead uses the DNS server configured on my home network?

Yes I realize I could set up a DNS Masq rule. I just didn’t like how the reporting ended up being I pi-holes dashboard.

    Hmmm, now I’m not seeing any ads when clicking through in the web view, so maybe it’s something on my end with my pi-holes. Sorry to bother, will try to dig in deeper on my end to see what’s going on.
