For some reason, I am not able to use Large block list i.e. hosts.oisd.nl. Did a monitor of dnsmasq.log when switching to Large block list and it seems to stop processing DNS request after the list update is completed
Code:
Mar 14 18:21:47 dnsmasq[32569]: query[A] dns.msftncsi.com from 127.0.0.1
Mar 14 18:21:47 dnsmasq[32569]: forwarded dns.msftncsi.com to 127.0.1.1
Mar 14 18:21:47 dnsmasq[32569]: query[AAAA] dns.msftncsi.com from 127.0.0.1
Mar 14 18:21:47 dnsmasq[32569]: cached dns.msftncsi.com is fd3e:4f5a:5b81::1
Mar 14 18:21:47 dnsmasq[32569]: validation result is INSECURE
Mar 14 18:21:47 dnsmasq[32569]: reply dns.msftncsi.com is 131.107.255.255
Mar 14 18:21:51 dnsmasq[32569]: read //etc//hosts - 42 addresses
If I were to switch to another list e.g. Medium, processing of the DNS request resumes after the the list update is completed
Code:
Mar 14 18:32:44 dnsmasq[8813]: read //etc//hosts - 42 addresses
Mar 14 18:32:44 dnsmasq[8813]: using nameserver 127.0.1.1#53
Mar 14 18:32:44 dnsmasq[8813]: using only locally-known addresses for domain lan.kylim.net
Mar 14 18:32:55 dnsmasq[8813]: query[NS] . from 192.168.1.13
Mar 14 18:32:55 dnsmasq[8813]: forwarded . to 127.0.1.1
Mar 14 18:33:04 dnsmasq[8813]: query[A] dns.msftncsi.com from 127.0.0.1
Mar 14 18:33:04 dnsmasq[8813]: forwarded dns.msftncsi.com to 127.0.1.1
Any suggestion on how to further troubleshoot or what could be the cause?
Not running any 3rd-party resolver e.g. Unbound; only using the built-in Stubby resolver with DoT that comes with Merlin FW
