CNAME cloaking to bypass DNS tracking protection

does CNAME flattening help with this? I’m not smart enough to understand the details.

I think NextDNS own "Block Disguised Third-Party Trackers" option blocks these.

  @Olivier Poitrey are you saying “Block Disguised Third-Party Trackers“ protects against CNAME cloaking?

  Olivier Poitrey Is it possible to check the domains calling these disguised third-party trackers or the disguised third-party tracker itself? I am not able to see it the logs or analytics reports

  Ricardo M the logs do show it when you click the red information dot next to a blocked entry. If it’s a disguised tracker it displays an arrow pointing to the actual host.
