Logging of blocklist updates (former Adguard user)?

Hello,
I would like to ask for some "clarification" on the following matter:
I had, recently still installed Adguard on iPhone and Mac. In each case via the app, not via configuration profiles.

As long as the app was installed (and in parallel test Nextdns) is clear that in the log the Adguard servers appear (status.adguard.com,...).

Now, after uninstalling Adguard, the corresponding servers are still logged. Is this because the blocklists I enabled are enabled in NextDNS, and it checks for updates accordingly, or are there still "installation remnants"? Strangely, or I just can't find it, servers of the other lists don't show up (or are they grouped under steering.nextdns.io?).

Here is an excerpt from the log:

[...
status.adguard.com

iPhone _____ (5.xxx.yy.zzz)

DNS-over-HTTPS (Apple configuration profile)
4 minutes ago
Hide tracker insights
Adguard
Software on user devices that can intercept and analyze browser traffic (man in the middle).
adguard.com (https://adguard.com/)

Relatively widely used (tracks 
0.03% of web traffic)

...]

Thanks in advance for supportive words ;-)

Greetings
Chris

    I'm pretty sure that for the filter updates it's done on the NextDNS servers as they're the ones filtering out requests, so there shouldn't be a request to Adguard servers that's caused by Adguard DNS Filter being enabled on your configuration, it's likely a remnant from your Adguard installation as you had suggested.

    Hey,

    I don't understand this. I have now deleted the profiles again, set up the WLAN again, even reset the iPad and iPhone and restored an old backup. And? Again it says Status.adguard.com in the log...
