[QUOTE="Morro, post: 1049620, member: 1765"] Right now, I wish I had the nerve to hit myself, because of how dumb it was of me with changing DNS server last week. In another thread I made last week, I mentioned I thought that NextDNS and Portmaster work somewhat a like, and that it explained why I had many red blocked entries in Portmaster for NextDNS. Well this afternoon I discovered by chance why that was happening. When I first added the NextDNS setting in Portmaster, I had copied the line needed from a guide, and I simply pasted it into Portmaster. And then I later discovered the blocked entries for NextDNS, and after a short while switched to CLoudflare with malware blocking. And now I get to the dumb part from me... when I copy/pasted the setting, I did not change the NextDNS ID in that line to my own ID. It was still containing the demo ID, so yeah, of course it would cause problems I guess. :oops: Now that I changed the ID to mine, it is working as intended, so sorry, but I have obviously switched back to NextDNS as my DNS service.
