I run a handful of instances across different networks, 1.7% is suspiciously low, you should make sure you've got the right lists. I like HageZi's

    I use firebog's ticked lists, from what I can tell from the logs ad domains are blocked just fine.

    But as I said, I have ublock origin on all my browsers which already catches most ads before they reach pihole, and I don't use mobile a lot when I'm at home. Oh, and I also use Linux, so no Microsoft telemetry to block either.

    1.7% makes perfect sense to me.

    Yeah no ublock origin really won't block all that many, the chattiest DNS comes from apps and smart devices, windows and mac laptops etc.

    I also run ublock on all of my browsers

    Meh, it's fairly easy to check this you know. If I turn off uBlock, my pihole logs do turn red. If it's left on, pihole logs stay mostly green, with nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary getting through.

    I don't have many of those. My work laptop is windows but it connects through a VPN only, and I have my smartphone that I barely use at home.
