Option to only log domains when it's blocked

Currently, disabling `Log domains` on settings disables logging of all domains.

It would be nice to have an option to show only blocked domains, to make mitigating false positives easier for users who are willing to who are willing to accept the trade-off.

    That's already implemented, somewhat, right beside the search bar click the filter button and you can choose to only show blocked queries.

      I see where you're coming from (I could've worded it better), but this Idea is more about only storing blocked queries (without also storing resolved queries)

       Do blocked domains appear in the analytics section with logging switched off? (I’ve not used it with logging off before)

       Nope, only numbers show up on analytics.

    I was just looking for this feature. I'm glad to see there's an existing feature request for it.

    Our use case is we would like to use NextDNS to provide security filtering for company devices, but we're not interested in all of the legitimate requests - we believe that betrays the trust and privacy of our staff.

    By disabling logging of domains we lose visibility of blocked domains, which can pose a security risk (was it blocked because a user clicked on a phishing link? Is a device apart of a bot network trying to reach the command server? Is there malware trying to call home? etc.) whereas at the moment it's an all or nothing setup.

    I don't believe it has to be an 'all' in order for us to implement some basic security features - there has to be a middle ground.
