Private DNS blocks some sites

    Hi, I could be in the wrong forum, but i have recently switched to a private dns (dns.adguard-dns.com) to block ads and popups. It does a great job, but I've noticed certain websites (Arnotts for example) don't work with this dns. Does anyone know if there's a way around this, or is there a way to let arnotts through the dns?

    see if you have option to exclude specific domains
    Settings → General Settings → Advanced settings → DNS exclusions

    not using above, i filter domain/url's on my router/firewall.

    I use blocking via a public block list (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts) and I just noticed that Arnotts.ie isn't working for me either. Very rare that I'd see issues, but hey, not a significant loss!
