@p1r473 we need to find out from which list this coming from first. I have this domain blocked on my end as well and i checked all of the original lists that i'm using and none showed up but the thing is that i'm loading those lists from here and most of them didn't get updated/filtered properly for a long time so i'll assume that the domain in question was removed from the upstream but due to problems with the filtering here it's still present. So this will be pending issue for now. @funilrys move it to us please when you have time. Thanks 👍
