Umbrella DNS doesnt look right

i use Umbrella on my home router, we do have lots of devices, however after a recent change of ISP the umbrella DNS stats look all wrong. I know how to read the stats pretty well and Whilst some of the dns info is clearly ours and as before,  it looks almost like we are seeing ‘someone elses’ As well—  quite a lot of DNS pointers  to Samsung ( we don’t have Samsung phones or visitors to the house) , lots involving online trading (neither of us do this) utorrents, airline sites not visited etc— this happens even if we are all out with no PCs switched on. I have checked if any ‘not known device ‘ connected and nope, it’s  static IP . Is it possible for 2 households to have same IP? (It’s not flats)

Your ISP may be using upstream NAT that shares an IP address (either IPv4 or IPv6). If another customer is also using Umbrella, it may cause the Umbrella reporting to include both your traffic and theirs.
