Xbox insider and the correct domains to whitelist for PiHole

I know it is an older post, but I finally figured out the problem I was having with achievements and tracking. Here is the solution that worked for me (in case anybody else needs the information).

In a nutshell, it was my ad blocker. I run pihole (https://pi-hole.net/)
on a raspberry pi as a network appliance to block advertising. By default, it has a pretty aggressive blacklist, and I needed to add a few domains to the whitelist. (I had done this in the past, but things must have changed on the Xbox One recently.)

What led me to finally look at this was a message I received on the Xbox One when signing in the other day. I don’t remember the exact wording, but was similar to “Local cache is almost full. This
can affect achievements stats and leaderboards”. When I held the guide button down, it took me to the Network part of the settings application. Then a quick search on Google brought me here:

One post mentioned pihole, and another provided this link:

When I compared my whitelisted domains with the ones recommended in the “Xbox Live” section, I was missing a few. Once those were updated, everything on the console started to work as expected.

Hopefully this is able to help somebody else who may run into the same problem.

And for the record, I am not getting rid of pihole ... that is a great piece of software, and worth the effort to keep it up to date.

Okay.

Figured out what the problem is. Something must have changed in the Log In process as it is now being blocked by my firewall.

In the past whitelisting xbox.com & xboxlive.com has been enough. Anyone know what changed or what domain I need to also whitelist to allow Log In to work correctly?

>Are you sure the whitelist info is correct? have you tried disabling the whitelist functions so any device can connect.

Yes; the Xbox One is currently connected online to the router, which has the white-list on, but also is publicly broadcasting the SSID name

Well, in this case definitely is something with the antivirus

Which windows system are you using? 11 or 10?

Are you not able to whitelist the Xbox app inside your antivirus settings?
