Issue Details

Version of AdGuard Home server:
- v0.104.3
How did you setup DNS configuration:
- IoT
If it's a router or IoT, please write device model:
- Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
Operating system and version:
- Raspbian 10 (buster); ADH is running within Docker

Expected Behavior

Adguard Home should understand and apply external whitelist rules over the blocking ones.

Actual Behavior

I have one external whitelist in section Filters > DNS allowlists
That list is hosted on GitHub (domain https://gist.githubusercontent.com/...) and has Adb format checked with Adguard Home documentation.
It's enabled, refreshing every 12 hours and Adguard Home shows correct number of rules (60) and correct last time updated.
Rules inside that list are 100% correct (checked in docs) and sometimes copy-pasted from Filters > Custom filtering rules (after that removed from custom list).

Adguard Home uses custom blocklist i.e. to block Microsoft telemetry, so the address login.live.com is blocked.
I need it to be not blocked, so I clicked on "Unblock" button on Querylist, then I went to Filters > Custom filtering rules and copied that entry from custom rules to my Github-hosted whitelist with that syntax:
@@||login.live.com^$important
After that I updated Adguard Home allowlists. I see the domains count got +1, update time refreshed and when I clicked on link it shows me the actual list with that rule present.

I flushed DNS on my PC and browser and it passed (OK) until next scheduled lists refresh time.
It stopped working next day (query of domain login.live.com is blocked again).

@ameshkov commented on GitHub (Dec 14, 2020):

If you're using @@-kind of rules (which "allow" content by themselves), you don't have to use "Allowlists". On the contrary, you can simply use "Blocklists" and your custom list there. This way you can use your list not just to unblock stuff, but to block as well.

Regarding the original issue, I am not able to reproduce it on my side.

Do you still have the rule on your list?
Could you please share the list with us so that we could try to reproduce this?
Or maybe create a new one (with which the issue is reproduced) and share it?
