New to Pi-Hole and still experimenting around. My question is: How to Test Pi-Hole is configured correctly?

I am not asking for websites like https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock to check whether Pi-Hole is working.

for instance, here is my setup:

  • I am running on docker
  • Provided Google DNS as DNS Server and not my DHCP Server IP. I did this to arrest problems around slow internet connection speed.
  • Ads are blocked on my host as well as on the one of the devices (iPhone) connected to the network. But I’m unable to ascertain if ads are blocked on my iPhone due to Pi-Hole or the AdGuard that is also installed.

Is there a way I can check my configuration and network control flow ? Detailed instructions would be helpful. Thanks.
