No luck because it works ? 😊 Isn't it the other way around ?
It works with pi-hole, so ... can you discover why it works for pi-hole ?

Btw : what is 'facebook' ?
You means their web site ?
Whatsapp ?
Messenger ?
Other ?
And also :
From a web browser ?
From an app on a pad or phone ?

The nasty thing about facebook : (and Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and this list is very long)
They use (own) thousands of IP addresses. These addresses change all the time.
A fact is that a browser access will use destination port 443 as it is https only.
Apps can use any port they want.

The good news is ; they own their own networks, or AS and pfBlockerng can block these, but that means nothing will work anymore, not even the web browser access.

So, I'm curious, who does pi-hole does it ?
