Diversion UDP and arpa blocking - Just trying to understand

[^Tripper^]

Hi all.

So with the recent Diversion update, I figured I'd take a look at my setup and follow the log file. I've noticed that diversion blocks the following;

_dns.resolver.arpa
lb._dns-sd._udp.XXXXX (the "XXXXX" is my "router domain name" )

This only happens when I launch my apple home app on my apple devices.

Not that this is really an issue, my home app works more or less but with some occasional flakiness that I doubt has anything to do with Diversion. Just wondering if this is expected behaviour from Diversion and if so, can I (or more importantly) should I add them to the allow list? And if so, how exactly do I do that as these aren't exactly traditional domains?

Appreciate comments and advise. Am trying to better understand and learn how all these magical 1 and 0s work.

Use Diversion option b, 4. Find domain in file(s) to see which block list contains an entry.
You will find that it's not Diversion blocking _dns.resolver.arpa , rather the WebUI option Prevent client auto DoH set to AUTO or YES in WAN tab that adds Dnsmasq option address=/_dns.resolver.arpa/ to /etc/dnsmasq.conf.
