Serious Discussion Nextdns locked me out of nextdns's own management website

[Brahman]

Today when I wanted to login to NextDNS's own management website, "my.nextdns.io", it locked me out, saying the website was not reachable. I tried from another device, and it was working, so I checked the logs, and I found my.nextdns.io was blocked by NextDNS itself, citing the reason "cname.vercel-dns.com- blocked by bypass methods". What is happening? Then I had to whitelist the domain to get entry.

What blocklists do you use? One of them might have a false positive. I found that the NextDNS default blocklist filter has a false positive on my end.

I enabled all the filter lists available on NextDNS and didn't see any blocks on my.nextdns.io. Make sure you haven't accidentally added the NextDNS domain to your blacklist.

Nothing was blocked in my blocklist, as the image shows, the reason for blocking is : "bypass methods", not the blocklist. I am from India and i suspect they have changed the backend for "my.nextdns.io" and that created the blocking.

Very weird. never seen this before. Kinda sounds malicious, someone or something doesn't like you using NEXTdns.
