I'm sorry but what the main purpose for request me to whitelist?

Did you really read my little description inside my hosts file?
Are your tools that you've setup (pi-hole) cannot set to whitelist by your side instead of mine?
Can I counter some?

First, as I can tell, I rarely and may never use that feature!

Second, I'm observed log from pDNSF app and then added that, but didn't know it's purpose for that moment, however, it's clearly that domain are related to your issue, by pair the phone through QR code for viewing messages in phone (SMS, MMS)

Yet again, if the feature can be use on demand, why I see many attempts in Android phone to pinging to that domain, even I didn't use that feature?

Note: I've changed to QKSMS instead of it.

Yes, I can whitelist on my end Opened this ticket just in case you choose to whitelist on your end as well If you do not whitelist on your end, no problem (Anyone else who uses your list may be impacted too)

p1r473 commented 4 years ago

This seems to be still blocked even though you have whitelisted

I've already tell enough that if users really want to use that feature, Google must fix its app to connect only when users really want to use, not periodically attempt connect if users didn't use it! As I remember, I've moved into aggressive list, that's mean again, it's problem by your side of...

caching my blocklist and may not purge and/or update.
subscribe my lists from other place that may merged my lists but didn't update frequently enough.
or you're also subscribe both generic leftover and aggressive list altogether.

if you subscribe to aggressive list, it's mean now it's personal issue, and I cannot fix your problems anymore.
