www.freep.com Missing A Record

I've encountered a couple sites that are not returning DNS records today:

1. www.lynalden.com

2. www.freep.com

They've both resolved themselves now, but for approximately 5 minutes, they were returning empty responses:

~ > dig www.freep.com

Compared to 8.8.8.8:

For information, I'm using MacOS 13.5.1 and NextDNS 1.5.1.

       Yes, it was a temporary bug that seems to have resolved itself now. I'm unsure why it wasn't resolving though. I figured it was something that could be looked into.

    This is now happening to `old.reddit.com` and `new.reddit.com`:

    This is becoming a real problem for me.

    I'm now receiving this on www.theguardian.com, but not theguardian.com. How do I reach support?

    I either require support or a refund on the unused annual part of my membership.
