Blocking mode for Custom Filtering Rules

[sachinwadhwa]

Is it possible to specify blocking mode when specifying custom filtering rules?

I use VPN quite often and internal domain resolution first hits adguard, received NXDOMAIN and then its tried using VPN's DNS servers. I would like to block internal.mycompany.com but would like to return NXDOMAIN.

When I add custom filtering rules, it returns "default" to internal.mycompany.com, which blocks the page and doesn't retry at VPN's DNS server.

I know I can change default settings to return NXDOMAIN for all blocks but creates 1000's of retry queries by some clients.

The easiest way would be to use $dnsrewrite modifier:
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/wiki/Hosts-Blocklists#dnsrewrite

It'd be something like this:
||example.org^$dnsrewrite=NXDOMAIN

Perfect this works!

Quick one, does this works with regex filters also?

Sure:
/example\..*/$dnsrewrite=NXDOMAIN
