Everything was working fine until a day or two ago but now suddenly unbuond won't resolve this domain my.nest.gq. DNS is working fine as it works with VPN or if I use a different DNS server. 2nd Dig result is when using Cloudflare DNS. There is one more domain I'm having exactly same issue with. I'm not blocking any country in Skynet.

Are you using DNSFirewall or Unbound adblock options?
 
Yes, I don't see any log relating to this getting blocked by DNS firewall or adblock though? Do you use unbound? Can you resolve it?

Have you tried rebooting the router?

Is amtm, Unbound, and all other scripts (including Entware) fully updated?

Are you actually using firmware 386.3_2?

Any reason you're not using current firmware?

However I don't use dnsfirewall or adblock features, also skynet has not blacklisted it for me either.

Yes to all. Sorry forgot to update signature, using 386.7
If this helps - Jul 20 09:34:27 RT-AC68U-20E0 unbound: [3695:1] error: SERVFAIL <ad.nest.gq. A IN>: all servers for this domain failed, at zone gq. no server to query nameserver addresses not usable

My first thought is your skynet or AI Protect may have somehow blacklisted it. I would whitelist it there first, then add it to any adblock whitelist you have.

tried whitelisting in skynet & unbound adblock, no luck
 
Did you reboot?

Keep in mind you may need to reboot everything like @L&LD suggest so that it refreshes everything, your unbound cache may also need to be cleared or you need to wait for the entries to expire before you notice any change especially if you are relying on unbound managers cache restoration on reboots.
 
ok will shut down everything for a while, router & modem both. One other subdomain was working until few minutes ago but now that also doesn't work.

You may need to purge your unbound cache and start fresh. You could have some cache poisoning maybe?

Try to ping any of these nameservers for gq (185.21…). I suspect they might be blocked by Skynet.
