Which rule is blocking?

I'm new to NextDNS and trying to figure out which rules are blocking which websites.  

One that's blocked at the moment is "https://base-image/mc/mdm/appcatalog/517fad876ec35698bc1e7d96ccf9fa69aafd47b" even though I've enabled "base-image" in the allowlist.

Any tips for tracing back blockages to rules?

    Anything blocked by NextDNS will be shown in the logs on my.nextdns.io

    Ah, that's helpful!  It seems like each blocking rule is associated with a GUID.  Is there a way to tell which GUID goes with which rule?

      The filter list doing the blocking will show when you mouse over/tap the "i" in a circle icon.

       Could you elaborate and possibly post a screenshot of where you're seeing a GUID?

       Where would I find that "i" in a circle?  Here's what my log tab looks like.

       Here's an example of a few, see on the right side.

      First click the "slider" icon next to the refresh icon.

      Then select filter Blocked queries only.

      After that just hover your pointer over a blocked entry and this will show next to the domain.

       

      Also, what you say is a GUID, is actually an IPv6 address.

    It looks like when I go to Settings and download logs I can see the reason for blocking. That's great!  I didn't realize it logged non-blocked calls too.  Liking NextDNS :)
