      So here's the situation. I am trying to compare a block list i have built myself for blocking access to DoH servers, to the Bypass blocking that is provided by NextDNS.io. The problem is that every URL I test that I know is in the lists on pfSense still comes back with the NextDNS blockpage. Does pfBlockerNG query the external DNS before it checks the DNSBL blocklists?

        Hi,
        The operation is certainly not correct in this respect.
        PfBlockerNG must work with the resolver (Unbound) for DNS query.

        You wrote that you made your own list, we use this for DoH:
