      Posting to see if I missed something or if this is a bug.

      I was trying to enable DoT blocking via DNSBL SafeSearch but dig would always succeed. I tried various forms of Force Update and Force Reload to no avail.

      Eventually I set up a bogus DNSBL feed, after which dig would "correctly" fail NXDOMAIN. My steps:

      • Open DNSBL Groups page
      • add an entry, name irrelevant
      • Action = Unbound
      • edit DNSBL Custom_List to include a bogus name (bogusname.example.com)
      • Force Reload DNSBL

      On the next reload note "Loading DNSBL SafeSearch" appears.

      Log when it doesn't work:
