I'm getting a lot of websites erroneously blocked by parental controls even though the sites are innocuous and contain no adult content. For example:

• www.adp.com
• intuit.com
• venus.com
• many others - my log is full of "Blocked adult websites"

If I disable the parental control service (either on a per-client or a global basis) then the websites aren't blocked.

It appears to happen when using https://family.adguard-dns.com/dns-query as the DNS resolver, too, regardless of AdGuard Home parental filter settings.

It looks like some of the websites have already been removed from the list:

adp.com - not blocked intuit.com- not blocked

venus.com - removed this one from the blocklist.

We're looking into the issue and will revert the changes (remove the batch of sites containing such a high rate of false positives) as soon as we can.
