Within the privacy options, I would like to have an option to log only blocked queries. ---

This option exists for the query log. Admin GUI \> Settings \> API/Web Interface \> Query Log. Were you looking for something other than this? If so, what would your proposed privacy option do and where would it fit in among the existing privacy options? ![image](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/uploads/default/original/2X/5/553fa491788c216a83c5228f432c771932e5bdd5.jpeg) ---

Apologies, I hadn't seen that option. ---

Except it isn't the same, this is only a fiter to show blocked entries, once you flip the permitted domain entries everything from the past is also shown. I agree, I would like a blocked domains only logger. I don't need to see what everyone normally visits. ---
