  I don’t think those two facts are related? Your isp doesn’t need to connect to its servers from within your local network to track your internet usage. Something else in your network must be trying to connect to that domain

  What domain do I can make sure it’s blocked?

      It’s on raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/…/hosts

      I also have additional lists from firebog.net, and I use jacklul/pihole-updatelists to maintain it.

      I’m using like 30 block lists with over 1,900,000 blocked domains. There is a site that had a bunch of blocklists and I just grabbed most of them

  Can I get some more info. Do you know what device on your network is asking for said address?

  Roku: has its own problems, but I dont use the smart tv features and turn them all off especially the wifi. It doesnt talk to my isp and ive never got requests from it.

    I think it’s my LG TV. But it has its own service that I also block.

    Here is the service from xfinity that I’m talking about. It’s relatively new to my network and has increased my blocked percentage by a lot. Mind you, I have 1,900,000+ domains on my blocklist

      Are you using isp provided hardware?

      My experience with said items has been poor. Literal open doors to your network.

        I’m using my xfinity router/modem in bridge mode to my router.
