      DNSBL will block the DNS request. It can't manipulate the browser page. In future, I plan to add the option for the user to define what gets displayed when DNSBL blocks a domain. So any domain listed in a particular group can be configured accordingly.

      pfBlockerNG is wonderful. Adding this would make it even better. Sure it would be great for making it clear to users why they can't see something. But it will also be great for troubleshooting. I've had to whitelist a few domains, and each time it's been tricky to work out exactly what was going on. One example was a popular retailer (REI.com) and although their products were showing up, user reviews of those products were not. Turns out REI links to a different server for handling their product reviews, and that reviews server was being blocked. Having an easy way to replace the (invisible) 1x1 gif with a more visible "site blocked" image (or similar) would make that kind of troubleshooting go faster.

        Hm, maybe some SVG that scales…

        As somebody who comes from uBlock I'm not really understanding how stuff here works.
        But i see now ads on YouTube i never saw before. There are not loaded but it shows:

        Your connection is not secure.
        The owner of googleads.g.doubleclick.net has configured their website improperly.

          Is this added in the latest dnsbl version?

                  Is this feature now working?

                  I installed 2.1.2_2 a couple of days ago and keep seeing this in "alerts"-

                  I generated this alert by browsing to the DNSBL VIP but the browser still just shows a blank page.

                  Box: SG-4200
