Temporarily disable filtering

Before I migrated from Pi-hole, there was an option to disable blocking for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 5 minutes, etc. I was able to use that for troubleshooting.

E.g. to identify if Pi-hole was causing a problem, uBO, or the website was having a problem. Pain having to change DNS to verify if a blocklist is causing it.

When something isn't working on my wife's computer, I have to go through log and start adding some things that could be a problem, wait for TTL, and see if that fixes it. World be great if we could have a disable button per profile so that it just acts as a resolver without any blocking (basically, same as if a free user goes over 300,000 queries in over month).

    It has been three years since I posted this and we haven’t received a single response from @nextdns (if that is valid),  @Romain Cointepas, or @Olivier Poitrey.

    I’m still a paying customer as I love the product, but this is obviously a desired feature.

        As I said earlier in this post, I switched to ControlD. They constantly update the product, and the UI is great.

      AdGuard is another solid option.

      They both have this feature.

      NextDNS was great for a while, but it's obviously in maintenance mode, and we shouldn't expect any updates.
