      If your devices use dhcp, check what DNS server is being assigned to them. Try leaving the DNS Server field in the DHCP Server page of pfsense blank.

          You can see the system log in pfsense in realtime and check if the wifi device is actually sending its dns requests to the router. I still feel its a case of pfsense not doing the dns resolutions.

              Check the DNS configuration of the wifi device to see if it bypass DHCP settings.

                If you mean the ad banners on youtube's home page which play the video ad automatically, I too get those. Those are https links. I have not been able to prevent them. Maybe someone who has been able to will come up with a solution.

                  I meant to check the settings on the device for DNS resolution. If the device use anything else than pfsense for DNS resolution, it will bypass DNSBL blocking.

                    yes exactly you got my point Ads play at beginning of video ans sometime in between videos, that is what im saying in youtube App for both android and ios device. On using ublock origin or ADBlock nothing comes clean and clear :) but i want this on my pfsense, should be blocked at my firewall.

                    using these list for Ad blocking and privacy http://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt , http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&mimetype=plaintext , https://adaway.org/hosts.txt , http://sysctl.org/cameleon/hosts

                    Privacy - DNSBL Easy List hoping for more list to add for more secure internet usage

                        If you see an AD in a web page, right click on it, and click "Inspect"… This will show what the domain of the AD is...

                        There are other DNSBL Feeds that can be added (Check the DNSBL thread), and you can also manually add Domains to the Custom Lists...
