neitsab commented 4 days ago

Which AdBlocker/DNS cloud service do you use?

uBlock, NextDNS

Other

No response

ControlD users

[ ] IMPORTANT - I assure that I have not set the Block Response in ControlD to Custom or Branded and can confirm that the problem still occurs.

NextDNS users

[X] IMPORTANT - I can assure that I disabled the block page in NextDNS and can confirm that the problem still occurs.

With which block list(s) does the problem occur?

Multi PRO++

Which domain(s) should be unblocked?

monitoring.*.amazonaws.com

Why should the domain(s) be unblocked?

I am doing a training on AWS and I was the only one in the group not seeing the Auto Scaling alarms in CloudWatch. I had an error pop-up saying something like "An unexpected error prevents retrieving the charts" (approximate translation from memory).

I had already disabled uBlock origin for the whole AWS Console, but when I checked my NextDNS logs I saw this monitoring.us-east-1.amazonaws.com being blocked by HaGeZi - Multi PRO++.

After whitelisting *.amazonaws.com (I know, dirty) and waiting a few minutes, I finally could see the Alarms and monitoring appear as expected. So it seems this domain is required for the AWS Console monitoring functionalities to work.

Yes, and it is used for tracking, which is why it is blocked in the aggressive lists from Pro++ onwards. You can add it to your personal allowlist or downgrade to Pro.

After checking the repo I thought it was blocked across all lists, hence the bug report. I have downgraded to Pro, thanks for your work and quick reply 🙏🏻
