Reddit app loads blocked sites

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

I open r/freeuse using iOS Reddit app, I expect to see no GIFs loading on phone since redgifs.com is blocked.

Actual Behaviour:

All GIFs load in the app. Browsers (Safari/Firefox Focus/DuckDuckGo) do not open redgifs.com. My laptop also doesn't load a single GIF when on r/freeuse.

Debug Token:

Information:

  • iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS18
  • Asus S13 OLED, Windows 11 updated
  • RPi 4B running desktopless RPiOS, Cloudflared and Tailscale
  • TP-Link AX10, static IP for RPi set

I reinstalled and reset everything after what happened in above post, and it seems to work now. But for some reason some apps (Reddit for now) do not block certain blocked sites. Redgifs.com for example loads all GIFs if I go to r/freeuse. The same behaviour is not seen on laptop or any other browsers on phone.

I do not have Private Relay, and I have Advanced Fingerprinting stuff turned off in Safari Settings.

What does the history log show when you use the app for that sub? That should identify which sites get through (and don't) at the time.

Do you mean query log? Yeah no it doesn't help.
If you're referring to something else then please tell me where to check
