Try restarting your network connection or flushing your DNS cache. On Windows: ipconfig /flushdns. On macOS: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder. On Linux: resolvectl flush-caches.

Ads still showing? If your network uses IPv6, make sure you entered the IPv6 addresses too. Otherwise your device can keep using your provider's DNS over IPv6.
