NextDNS blocking access to Google Play Store in 2024??
So I've searched on here and Google. Every time I connect to NextDNS, I cannot download or update apps via the Google Play Store. In fact, when I load up the Play Store, it shows an error message saying cannot connect. I'm using a Google Pixel 8 phone with the most recent Android and Play Store updates available for this device.
My current workaround is to disconnect from NextDNS and then update/download apps. Once finished, reconnect to NextDNS.
As I said, I looked up many topics on this issue and the proposed solutions did not work. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Thank you very much.

Not a problem here, but have some problems with the archive.today websites and one other site.

Check the logs, what is being blocked when you encounter the issue.
See if you have gvt1.com blocked, if it is add it to the Allowlist or disable the list is blocking it.

I've done both these suggestions. I allowed googleapi google-analytics and gvt1. Still not able to fetch updates or download new apps from the Google play store. Is it just my phone ? Lol

Same here. No matter what I "Allow", I still can't connect. I have to change to Private DNS then clear N-DNS cache, before I can get any updates. For me it never went through.

Seems like Gaming category is blocking `play google.com`. After removing it from parental control tab, play store started working for me.
Currently, I'm manually blocking all gaming sites through denylist, since I can't seem to use gaming category, because play store has games too.
