Blacklisted and cached

Expected Behaviour:

A blacklisted domain is blocked and 0.0.0.0 is replied all requestors.

Actual Behaviour:

Cached queries are not blocked for specific hosts. Added a domain manually to the blacklist by hitting the "Blacklist" button in the Query Log. Added successfully. If I query the domain from a standard laptop it's blocked (Blocked (exact blacklist)), but if my IoT device (which in essence is the culprit) queries it get's OK (Cached). Problem is, that I do not have access to the IoT device to restart or do anything (it's a hybrid PV inverter for my solar panels' installation). The culprit domain I want to block is eoseu.envisioncn.com. Can anybody help?

Debug Token:

Issue solved. Had a group where the IoT device was in, and the rule only applied to unassigned. Using the other group on the block rule as well solves the problem..
D’oh :grinning:
