ArchLinux Pi-hole is not officially supported by Pi-hole project. In case of bugs and malfunctions please DO NOT file a report upstream.

First of all check if the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole) can help then ask here for assistance and tips.
When it will be excluded that the problem does not depend on ArchLinux we will file a bug upstream.

Found the answer on this link.

https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/0-0-0-0-response-on-pi-hole-4-0-for-blocked-domains/11589

and this: https://docs.pi-hole.net/ftldns/blockingmode/

The new blocking default method is redirecting everything blocked to 0.0.0.0

If you want the old behavior back, you need to add BLOCKINGMODE=IP OR BLOCKINGMODE=IP-NODATA-AAAA to /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf

(Still not sure about the error I mentioned on my previous post about user 'pihole' not existing, and on the settings page under FTL Information, the User / Group shows as nobody / nobody)

I have uninstalled pi-hole-ftl and pi-hole-server and reinstalled but it did not help. One thing I notice thought when uninstalling is this error:

userdel: user 'pihole' does not exist error: command failed to execute correctly

When reinstalling the packages, I checked against /etc/passwd and no user pihole has been created.

P.S.: I am using pi-hole-server-4.0-8 and pi-hole-ftl-4.0-6 P.S.S: Another thing to mention is that my pi-hole box is not my DHCP server.

Hi Taijian, no no everything is fine. ;-)

One more thing (possibly?): I noticed that post_install we do:

chown -R http:http /srv/http/pihole

However, this is not done post_upgrade. Maybe it should? (no expert, just taking stabs in the twilight...)

how do i check? ps aux | grep dns

you should have stopped dnsmasq service before update and restart ftl after. as usual on any service replace update procedure. now it's late and is better and easier to reboot.

on my update pi-hole did not delete any of my 14 dns forward server... doh...

edit: formatting

stupid question: have you definitely killed old dnsmasq and are you using FTLDNS only?

If I leave gravity.list in the new format (per se) without the host ip in front of each domain and I try to go to those websites, the browser does not know where to go and returns an error that could not resolve the name (ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED). If I add the host in front of each line I now can see "website blocked" pi-hole page.
