Hi
we are mostly an Apple household and I’ve disabled the Apple private relay on my devices but my kids have worked it out they can turn it on to bypass eblocker (not sure why they would), anyhow, I was reading the following and blocking the two addresses in this article will also block the rely from turning on.
how do I block these two domains or can eblocker send an NXDOMAIN packet.

When I was using pihole they had a feature to disable this
@deepunder You can either block domains for individual devices via the Dashboard or globally via a blocker list.
For a device (or roaming for a user, if user profiles are in use): Go to the Dashboard of the user's device (where blocking should be applied) and find the tile "Block Domains". Here enter the desired domains. Done.
Globally: Add a list of the domains to the domain blocker (if eBlocker HTTPS is not enabled) and/or to the pattern blocker (if HTTPS is enabled).
There is comprehensive help in the documentation regarding the Blocker functionality and how to add individual lists, I recommend to start here: https://eblocker.org/en/docs/blocker/
There are also examples for the different block lists: https://eblocker.org/en/docs/what-kind-of-list-formats-are-supported/
BTW: The advantage of eBlocker is not just to block domains but URLs based on pattern. So you can also write a blocking rule to block all URLs containing a certain string, say "*/bad_string_in_URL/*". This is the core advantage of eBlocker vs. pi-hole: complex URL pattern blocking instead of just domain blocking. That's why eBlocker can block First Party Tracking - which pi-hole can not block.
Hope this helps.
THX!
