RethinkDNS : firewall with NextDNS DNS resolvers... (sorry i'm french)

ANDROID is blocked. Tap on it, then unblock it (by allowing it for both Mobile and WiFi). You’re possibly using NextDNS with Android’s Private DNS, and hence you need to allow ANDROID to connect (which here appears to be blocked) as ANDROID is the one making those DNS queries. Also make sure to turn off Block when DNS is bypassed setting in Firewall → Universal (tab) (this setting isn’t shown when Private DNS is enabled; so you may have to turn off Private DNS first, make sure this setting in …

Hi: To add to what U8dcN7vx said,

1. Bloquer lorsque le DNS is likely to break some apps… so check network logs when that happens.
2. With Bloquer ... l'appareil est verrouille… but some communication apps (like Zoom, WhatsApp) may need a “bypass”, or incoming calls may be blocked, otherwise.
3. Bloquer le traffic du port 80 may break some websites… but nothing major. Most legit websites today do support HTTP/S on port 443.
4. Bloquer... nouvellement installees comes really handy. You’ll be shown a notification to allow / block when a newly installed app tries to connect to the Internet.
5. Bloquer ... dont la source est inconnue is probably safe to enable. It shouldn’t break any app.
