      @tinfoilmatt Sure go ask them.. Or its just a simple DNS query and not some form of trying to sneak something into your network.

        Which, again, is equal speculation on your part.

          @tinfoilmatt Yeah I am just speculating that a dns query is just a dns query <rolleyes>

            Your attempts to manipulate my words reveal the strength of your position.

              You could block that if you want, but when they can't talk they tend to get more chatty about it - asking more and more often, etc..

              Also a noob here myself lol. That's pretty much like my Netgear router despite being in AP mode, pretty much spams 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 for connectivity checks, even though its DNS in its web interface is set to the pfsense firewall which in turn is set to Cloudflare and Quad9. When 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 got blocked as part of the DoH IP list in pfblockerng it became even more aggressive and I had a spam of block alerts like every 3-5 secs if not more often at times lol. If I recall something similar happened when I had "Chromecast with Google TV" dongles a few years ago, so I'm not surprised.

                @aivxtla My devices hammer connectivitycheck.gstatic.com, gsas.apple.com, bing.com, ngw.dvr163.com (a Chinese NVR), etc. all day long. It is what it is.

                On this point specifically (i.e., DNSBL and/or IPBL), make sure to configure logging such that these queries/packets are 'sinked'.
