6 years ago Actually, issue is invalid -- this is the by-design behavior, reporting descendant hostnames as dark red would mislead the user into thinking there are explicit block rules for all descendants, while this is not the case. Below base domain rules can only be set manually, and thus it is expected the user will understand why a specific domain is reported as blocked despite the visual discrepancy. I had gone through all that thinking a long while ago, just forgot about all this.
Test case:
Add following rule:
Visit
https://arstechnica.com/.The page will be broken. This is the expected result given the above rule and that the page is pulling CSS/image resources from
arstechnica.net.The matrix UI however does not visually reflect the block rule:
The base domain
arstechnica.net(and all of its subdomains) should be reported as being blacklisted -- dark red.
