    What is the second DNS server? Not another pi-hole?

    Also it breaks referral links (i.e. Google shopping which I use a lot). I used a whitelist off the internet but still no. I'm guessing that whitelisting googleadservices.com will result in trillions of ads again

    Yes. But (at least if you are using one pi-hole, not two), it's pretty trivial to turn ad-blocking on and off.

    No, I'd be using Google 8.8.8.8 or something in case the pi-hole goes down.

    Yeah, I realised this whilst I was mucking about with it yesterday. It's a bit inconvenient though to have to login and disable. Guess I'd rather do that than have ads everywhere!
