Expected Behaviour:
Using unbound and quad9 upstream DNS I should bypass restriction from ISP DNS blocking
Actual Behaviour:
I can't get into some torrents sites, sometimes I get to the desired section of the torrents but when trying to click on a link if z torrent I get a blank page
Debug Token:
Running a dig on the website I get replies but when digging on the complete url of the torrents I get nxdomain
Yeah I even disabled pihole for 1 min and it was still not resolving which is very odd.

I'm not saying it's related to Pi-hole as I couldn't access this website before unless I used a VPN, hence my question. I'm using unbound and a quad9 upstream DNS so how would my ISP block this??
I assume you are using unbound as an encrypting resolver communicating over an encrypted interface to the Quad 9 resolver? If this is the case, the DNS traffic should be invisible to your ISP.
However, even if the DNS traffic is encrypted, the ISP will still see all your requested IP's unless you run all your traffic through a VPN. If they can see the IP, they can block it. They know which IP's serve which domains.
