NextDNS is not blocking anymore but logs shown as blocked

NextDNS seems to be buggy for my instance; meaning is showing that requests were blocked but in reality they will not be blocked / they will open on my device.. I see that the DNS is effectively/correctly used in GUI (I can see my requests from all devices) and also can see the webpage is blocked as it should in LOG - so configuration seems to be fine from my side.. But in reality it isn't blocked. The page opens and loads normally on my device.. So I assume that NextDNS resolves the DNS request; nevertheless the request should be blocked.. I only have the issue for one of my instances, for other instances/ profiles its working fine.. Both use DoT.

    Also Adblock test https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html is showing that nothing is effectively blocked; but in NextDNS GUI/LOG the requests are shown as blocked.. Strange.

    Looks like it’s working again.. Without change. lol. Blocked pages in Log are now really blocked ;).

    Please make sure Apple Private Relay is off, or if you want to turn it on, make sure the block page feature is off on NextDNS.

    If you check the "compatibility" page of this tool, they explain their test does not work if our blockpage capability is enabled:

    Hi. Both were disabled. I was not using Private Relay & Blockpage.. 

     

    Anyhow. As described above the problem is already solved without change from my side. It „magically“ worked again after a short time😂. I think there were some temporary issues on your side. Now it’s working Again ;). And entry’s shown in log as blocked are really blocked ;).

       this is strange, if we log a query as blocked it means we replied with a blocked response.

    Hi,

    I'm getting the same problem. Sites are showing up blocked but nothing is being blocked. I've cleaned the cache etc but not working. Was working before. Not sure what the glitch is
