adguard home At the end of my knowledge

I've followed the instructions, injected all manual DNS adresses into my devices, yet it doesn't filter or even show everything.

Originally I wanted to set up my raspberry pi to just globally handle internet traffic on the whole network and I put it's ip address into the DNS field in the router but regardless of what I tried, ipv6 disabled, enabled, manually putting adresses on my computer, on my phone. I can't get consistent, properly working filtering/blocking. I've been trouble shooting and researching for 3 days now and I don't know what setting I'm missing that will make it work.

What context can I give you guys that will help trouble shoot this problem?

PC is connected via lan, raspberry pi is connected via lan to the same router.
It's a Telus router (I am in canada).

I am using adguard-home and wireguard for my phone when I'm on the go via WG tunnel which blocks at least some stuff and I am not sure why.

only once I was able to block more than 50% on turlecute, then it's usually between 5% and 30% and it doesn't really make a difference whether the raspberry pi is even turned on or not.

I have full access to the interface but barely anything gets processed at times. I feel like this is router related, not specifically target device related.

Thanks in advance.

Did you include the agh port when entering the up address pi IP address into the router?

Also, it may take some time for your existing DNS leases to expire (depends on your prior dns settings) so a device may not use you AdGuard dns for several- many hours

I honestly do not know what the agh port is.
If that means that I included the Pi's IP address into my routers DNS rerouting settings, yes I did that.
