      Hi,

      Just installed and enabled pfBlockerNG after following this guide: https://github.com/mikael-andre/pfSense/wiki/HOWTO-pfSense-pfBlockerNG
      Now I cannot watch embedded youtube clips.

      I've tried adding .youtube-nocookie.com to Custom Domain Whitelist but still it won't show the embedded clips.

        Did you do a Force Reload DNSBL after the whitelisting ?
        You can also whitelist using the Alerts tab.

        Backup 0.5_5, Bandwidthd 0.7.4_4, Cron 0.3.7_5, pfBlockerNG-devel 3.0.0_16, Status_Traffic_Totals 2.3.1_1, System_Patches 1.2_5

          Yes I did.
          I now went into the Alerts tab and it says that www.youtube-nocookie.com is already whitelisted?
          It's apparently blocked by the YouTubeVideoAds list but shouldn't my whitelist override this?

            Remove your Whitelisting of the domain, Force Reload All, then whitelist it using the Alert Tabs to see what pfblockerNG will whitelist. www.youtube-nocookie.com is a CNAME : youtube-ui.l.google.com that need to be whitelisted as well.

            nslookup www.youtube-nocookie.com
            
            Server:		127.0.0.1
            Address:	127.0.0.1#53
            
            Non-authoritative answer:
            www.youtube-nocookie.com	canonical name = youtube-ui.l.google.com.

              Thank you now it works! It added the following to the whitelist:

              .www.youtube-nocookie.com
              .youtube-ui.l.google.com # CNAME for (www.youtube-nocookie.com)
