Kindly help me fix the problem, my modem does not block the ip addresses

make sure your host pihole directory is empty that host pihole is mounted witht the one from the container which measn when you update whtever of pihole it goes to your persisitant storage you can later transerfer to different container in future.

also do not use wlan0 , use ethernet nic interface.

thanks, did that. Also Didnt choose to go with custom network and it worked well. There was a spelling issue on the folder name. Now its all okay, thanks.
