Allright! Will look into it together with Deciso and get back to you. Thanks for digging into it already, very helpful!

FYI - I'm seeing this issue too however I'm using the qfeed Domains blocklist only within AGH and not within Unbound.  I'm running OPNsense 25.7.11_9-amd64  with AGH setup as the main DNS on port 53, and Unbound is on 5335. Within AGH I have 127.0.0.1:5335 setup as a Private reverse DNS server, and for Local resolution via Unbound on 127.0.0.1:5335 - this has been working well for years.

Blocking of sites on the qfeeds Domains blocklist within AGH worked well previously, however it now seems to have stopped as the example problem url's posted earlier in this thread are no longer blocked and they display warnings in my browser.

The widget shows the blocked number incrementing as I have the floating rules setup to block the qfeeds IPs which works properly - it's just the Domain blocklist isn't working anymore

edited to add - this is the url added to the AGH Qfeeds Malware Domains shown in the screenshot:
https://api.qfeeds.com/api.php?feed_type=malware_domains&api_token=tip_xxxxxxx

Hi vk2him,

This doesn't seem to be related to the Q-Feeds Plugin since you're using AGH. As your screenshot shows it perfectly pulls in the domains? If you try to reach 'cherrypharm.com' (just checked, still in the domains list), can you see any DNS requests for that domain in AGH ?

Yes, you're correct - after a bit more checking, it seems the Warning for that website was generated by my browser natively, or via an add-in (Brave) - I could see within the AGH log that it actually blocked access. When I tried Safari, I didn't get the warning as it must not have the same website checking, and again aGH blocked it. Sorry for my misunderstanding :)
