Android Tablet Issue

[wpblencowe49]

I'm having issues with nxfilter and an Android tablet that used to work ... My router died and i replaced it, but my ip addresses changed so i updated my existing instance of nxfilter and updated to the latest version..

In the dashboard i can see the request marked as blocked, but on the tablet i still go to "www.playboy.com" and don't get the blocked page ...

I've played with various DNS settings (https, etc) on the tablet as well as chrome settings, but no luck..

Does anyone have a sure fire recipe ? It's a really, really, basic home setup .. i have a son with special needs ..

Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!! bill

You might have another DNS server on your network. If a secondary DNS server is not filtering traffic, requests may bypass NxFilter.

Your new router may also be providing an IPv6 DNS server.

Run this in CMD:

nslookup www.playboy.com

And check the outputs.

so i setup a windows box and get the following, right server address for the nxfilter dns .. i'm not sure about the 2nd part ... i've also turned off (i hope) IPV6 on the router ...

C:\Users\DadsOffice2018>nslookup www.playboy.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.55

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.playboy.com
Addresses: ::ffff:192.168.1.55
192.168.1.55

192.168.1.55 is NxFilter's IP address, and it blocks that domain, so you probably can't access it on your PC.

On an Android tablet, you can check it in the Wi-Fi settings. If you're not sure how, try installing PingTools Network Utilities from the Play Store. Open it, tap the network icon, and you'll see the DNS servers.

Also, which browser are you using on the tablet? It might be using DoH with a custom DNS server.
