MyQ is blocked by nextdns

Upon starting to use nextdns on my home router, my garage door control unit (myQ) has stopped working. It does not resolve the addresses it needs to connect to the MyQ cloud service. Reverting my dns setting on the router back to ISP or 8.8.8.8 allows the unit to connect to the cloud service.

Using the nextdns logs I do not see any denied/blocked entries and I have put both *.myq-cloud.com and *.myqdevice.com but to no avail.

Any help is appreciated, otherwise I am afraid choosing between a functioning garage door and nextdns, I will drop nextdns.

Thanks.

    I was able to work around this by adding Google's DNS servers as forwarders for the MyQ domains.  It's not the most elegant workaround, but it seems to do the job.

    sudo nextdns config set \
        -forwarder myq-cloud.com=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 \
        -forwarder myqdevice.com=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
    sudo nextdns restart
