      I have checked my logs and notice these three being blocked while using YouTube.

      s.youtube.com
      app-measurement.com
      www.googletagmanager.com

      Before trying the process of elimination, I’m hoping to know which to whitelist so that my watch history isn’t blocked. Watched videos show as unwatched currently.

      Thank you for any assistance.

        Don't forget to check Firewall > pfBlockerNG > DNSBLDNSBL > SafeSearch : the Youtube restrictions.

        There is a link on that page that checks for you if something is blocked ...I guess.

        Check also you Google / Youtibe settings. If yo watch a video, the history is not on your devices, but on Google/Youtube side.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @gertjan thanks for the response! The history data is definitely on YouTube’s side. It seems the dns black hole is doing its job I’m just unsure which site that I listed is the culprit.

            @clokwork said in What to whitelist to allow YouTube history?:

            just unsure

            The solution that always works :
            Remove all feeds (IP and DNSBL).

            Iterate over :
            => Flush local DNS cache (Micrsoft OS : ipconfig /flusdns)
            => Test youtube history
            => Add one feed
            => pfBlockerNG-devel full reload
            => reloop
