@bmeeks i run netstat on the android device and found a number of ports being redirected to 10.10.10.1, unfortunately i see that as the destination IP, so am still trying to work out what the original IP was.

That's the replacement page hosted on pfSense. That implies it's being resolved to that by DNSBL.
So one of the feeds you have added to DNSBL is blocking that URL. It implies mostly serves stuff you don't want, ads malware etc. You might reconsider whether you actually need that...

@stephenw10 is correct. It seems the DNSBL feature of pfBlockerNG is intercepting the attempted domain-to-IP lookup made by your phone and instead of sending your phone the real IP of the domain it is redirecting your phone to the internal web page hosted by the DNSBL code. That's what the 10.10.10.1 address is.
This is the problem that can result from using tools that use IP blacklists as the basis for their block decisions. Many of these lists are not always 100% accurate, and they sometimes tend to broad-brush when marking IP subnets as malicious. What I mean by that is they can unintentionally blacklist an IP address that is actually OK but just happens to be located within a larger block the blacklist is marking as bad. Of course it is also possible that DNSBL is flagging the IP block because it serves up ads.
