apple.com is added to whitelist but NextDNS still blocks its subdomains

Added two screenshots:

  1. whitelist page
  2. logs filtered by "apple.com"

As it can be seen - *.apple.com is whitelisted. But still lots of subdomains of apple.com is being blocked.

This is the first time I am using NextDNS so is there something I should have disabled/enabled even after doing this?

    I don't see anything blocked in your screenshots.

      Ah, right. My bad. I forgot to toggle "Blocked Queries Only" ON when taking screenshot. Indeed - no apple.com endpoint is being blocked.

      (Also - sometimes it takes upto 10-15 mins to latest logs show up).

      But App Store (both iOS/Mac - same config) app page splash/screenshot images don't show when NextDNS is enabled. They start showing the moment I disable nextdns. → this is what caused me to raise this report.

      Surprisingly now that I have toggled "Blocked Queries Only" ON - I can't see any logs at all while those images are getting blocked from loading. It seems nothing is being blocked but still I can see at least App Store having this effect.

      I see this here https://www.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/f1i3ra/mzstaticcom_blocked_keeps_images_and_content_from/ pointing to is1-ssl.mzstatic.com and points to threat intelligence.

      My log also shows this when try to load the app page.

      But log says in my case:

       blocked by categories.gaming.

      So for the time being I have allowed "*.mzstatic.com" and image loading works. It's not ideal but I noticed mzstatic.com resolves to apple.com eventually - directly.

      Anyway, not sure why this was blocked.
