I'm testing Adguard DNS which i've just discovered, works nicely, also via DNSCrypt.

Because of the very nature of this DNS (Ad Blocking & Browsing Security) some urls may be blocked by mistake.

I'm encountering this most legitimate site, blocked only when resolved with Adguard DNS:

http://pluzz.francetv.fr/

Hope this gets fixed- Thanks.

EDIT- Much more problematic in fact

I've just found out that if pluzz.francetv.fr was blocked when resolved by Adguard DNS it is because the resolved url's IP was 87.245.196.91, that this 87.245.196.91 was blocked by my PeerBlock application because it lists 87.245.196.91 as Skytiz Network in its Webexploit filter ...

Indeed, submitting pluzz.francetv.fr to iplookup.flagfox.net shows:
Hostname : pluzz.francetv.fr
IP Address : 62.253.72.81

Disabling PeerBlock allows pluzz.francetv.fr to display correctly. It seems the process transited via Skytiz Network which is why it was blocked by PeerBlock. Is this normal?

Peerblock blocked 87.245.196.91 named as Skytiz Network and 87.245.196.91 is part of PeerBlock's Webexploit filters' list. This list is described at https://www.iblocklist.com/list?list=ghlzqtqxnzctvvajwwag as:

List name: webexploit
Author: Bluetack
Author's website: bluetack.co.uk
Author's description:
IP addresses related to current web server hack and exploit attempts that have been logged by us or can be found in and cross referenced with other related IP databases. Malicious and other non search engine bots will also be listed here, along with anything we find that can have a negative impact on a website or webserver such as proxies being used for negative SEO hijacks, unauthorised site mirroring, harvesting, scraping, snooping and data mining / spy bot / security & copyright enforcement companies that target and continuosly scan webservers.

So, is there a problem and if so, where is it?
This was for your information. Interpreting these facts is above my skills.
Thanks

Hi
The site works as expected with our DNS, nothing blocked

Perhaps you're answering to my post's title only, Alex-202.
I've developed my comment if you read me carefully to point out that pluzz.francetv.fr was blocked by PeerBlock and that PeerBlock was blocking one of AdGuards distribution servers, 87.245.196.91 named as Skytiz Network

Moreover, having a look at https://dnsleaktest.com/ showed several DNS servers (which is good for speed) but that ALL these servers were Google servers. If Adguard DNS is hopping from one Google server to another to resolve my quest then it's not for me.

Good luck.

@Alex-302 takes care of filtering issues, and we need a dev to answer your question:)

So, what's going on:

  1. 87.245.196.91 is IP address of one of the Akamai CDN nodes.
  2. So, I guess pluzz.francetv.fr uses Akamai CDN.
  3. This particular node is located in Russia.
  4. The reason why AG DNS has resolved it to Russian akamai node is that it appears that you are routed to AG DNS servers located in Russia.

We currently have servers in two locations only: US and RU. Still waiting for EU and asian servers: #33. The ETA is a few weeks from now.

@ameshkov , OK, but the point remains all this would have been transparent if the Webexploit filters' list of PeerBlock hadn't blocked 87.245.196.91 - The question is to know if this 87.245.196.91 is founded or not to appear in this Webexploit's list. That is the only question.

Due to CDN nature their IP are often incorrectly blocked, so the right thing to do is to report it to the list authors.

Often maybe not, but this can happen, indeed. As it may not. Incertitude.
Thanks for your concern.
I don't think you should close this thread, it concerns unresolved matter, other users could include their knowledge/experience. It is of course your choice

I'd prefer to have separate issues for each case.

You see, it'll help with issues search in case if some issue re-occurs.
