The issue I am facing: I know this is 'expected behavior' but I'm running into a little bit of frustration with the fact that adlists take precedent over regex blacklist rules when blocking happens. Basically, there's some domains that I want to set the ";reply=" option on, but these domains are a…

Not a solution, but did you check how many unique domains those blocklists would actually add to your existing pool? A third-party utility like yubiuser's adlist tool could provide some insights into your actual blocklist utilisation and help you to better understand how much you'd really lose by d…

Thanks! I'll give the adlist tool a try. I was also considering just writing a python script that would cobble together my own adlist from a list of adlists, using my own rules for excluding certain items. The obvious problem with that, is that I would loose the ability to use pihole's built-in too…

[image] Anova3: So far, I've got the best results out of pointing these things at a nonsense ip address they can time out on. (;reply=192.168.192.168) So you are trying to answer requests for the exact api2.branch.io domain with an unassigned private IP, right? In that case, I can think of a…

[image] Bucking_Horn: a) allow api2.branch.io via Group Management | Domain management b) create a Local DNS record with your chosen nonsense IP for it I actually started off doing that exact thing, and I guess I'll go back to that if these other reply types don't turn out better than that. …

Update: I'm getting REALLY good results from using logs\.roku\.com;reply=refused as a blacklist rule. I also have FTLDNS configured with BLOCK_TTL=60 (default is normally 2) so that might be playing a role. Regardless, I'm going to try NXDOMAIN next to see what happens. At any rate I'm going to as…

Thanks! I was actually just searching around to see if there was/n't already a feature request like this. It's got my vote, obviously. :smile:

[image] Anova3: Basically, there's some domains that I want to set the ";reply=" option on, but these domains are already being blocked by various adlists I use. [image] Anova3: My current solution involves setting some rather counter-intuitive groups up and omitting those 5 adlists from …
