bye bye from my list
I have removed this list from my nextdns for now as the latest update has made all my users (my wife) very unhappy
Unsure who’s responsible for the blocks.
nextdns.io vodafone.co.uk tailscale.io plex.tv snapcraft.io ispreview.co.uk atuin.sh ghcr.io home-assistant.io fig.io ifconfig.me netflix.com zoom.us fast.com pythonsandbox.dev omgubuntu.co.uk iina.io rarbg.com isohunt.nz kickass.ws crestron.io
All are being blocked. WTF?
As I’ve mentioned, this doesn’t seem to be the fault of the Energized list:
Good news everyone, the issue seems to have been resolved by NextDNS:
🥳🎉
To avoid the NextDNS dashboard being inaccessible in the future for a similar reason: Try adding “nextdns.io” (without quotes) in the “Allowlist” explicitly. This will automatically whitelist the pages used by NextDNS.
If you’re affected, all websites should now (hopefully) work without doing anything on our side.
First time I’ve seen a blocklist selfdestruct like this. But any faith I once had in Energized is gone.
Now it blocks Twitter.
Yep I’m leaving energized as well.
.gg .io .me blocked

#980 And now we are having problem with the energized regional version, looks like I’m going to remove yet another one from my blocklist. Sorry, but waking up to another suprise was no more.
I’ve checked the actual list of Energized Ultimate domains and compared it against the NextDNS’s. As others have also pointed out, the entries for several lists don’t match the official figures, which suggests that NextDNS must have had errors in fetching or during parsing of the entries at the server-side.

PS: There’s likely something broken with @NextDNS. Many filters have 0 entries or very few entries against them. May be we should reach out to NextDNS support.
As to how NextDNS may have showed this was blocked by Energized is that during import, if something fails, it imports data till that point. Some line that contains .gg/.io must have been partially imported and this must have caused a block of all matching sites.
Regex-like match should be used at NextDNS side to quickly match the DNS queries against blocklist and this must have caused false positives, causing NextDNS to flag those as inadvertently blocked by Energized Ultimate List.
The lack of response from NextDNS concerns me though, the above is just my educated guess.
Hey, just wanted to know how this was caused by nextdns. I mean the logs on nextdns said these sites and apps are being blocked by energized. So what was the actual reason?
