awstrack.me blocked in email links even when affiliate & tracking links allowed

Hi there,

Several providers I use send monthly billing statement emails that use awstrack.me links.

I have 'Allow Affiliate & Tracking Links' turned on.

These awstrack.me links are still being blocked by the NextDNS Ads and Trackers Blocklist (the standard blocklist).

I would have thought Allow Affiliate & Tracking Links would have allowed these links to resolve, which is what I'd like to happen.

I'm somewhat new to NextDNS  -- could someone help me with what I'm misunderstanding here?

    Should have added -- I've manually allowlisted awstrack.me but my concern is more that I'd like these types of links in general to resolve (hence why I had turned on 'Allow Affiliate & Tracking Links')

      Aaron we added awstrack.me to the affiliate list.

      This domain is used for click tracking, so it make sense that our ads & tracking blocking feature is blocking it. The "Allow Affiliate & Tracking Links" feature is a way to relax this rule on some domains used for click tracking. When enabled, we unblock those domain but we hide your IP from them to limit their tracking ability.
