Adblock first denies then allows request

Dear all,

I have a weird problem with adblock. It stopped filtering ads a few weeks ago. I fiddled around with it and generated a fresh firmware image today and it still does not work. When I enable the DNS report I see that, first the request for the ad domain gets denied, and then immediatly afterwards a second request is allowed. This happens on all my clients, Mac and iPad.

I am currently on OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r22573-72780e3eac / LuCI Master git-23.104.28202-588c6a1, running on Linksys WRT1900ACS.

This is what the DNS report looks like:

This is my adblock config:

root@openwrt:~# cat /etc/config/adblock

config adblock 'global'
	option adb_debug '0'
	option adb_safesearch '0'
	option adb_dnsfilereset '0'
	option adb_mail '0'
	option adb_backup '1'
	option adb_dns 'dnsmasq'
	option adb_repiface 'br-lan'
	list adb_sources 'adaway'
	list adb_sources 'adguard'
	list adb_sources 'adguard_tracking'
	list adb_sources 'android_tracking'
	list adb_sources 'firetv_tracking'
	list adb_sources 'openphish'
	list adb_sources 'reg_de'
	list adb_sources 'yoyo'
	option adb_enabled '1'
	option adb_forcedns '1'
	option adb_fetchutil 'uclient-fetch'
	option adb_report '1'
	list adb_zonelist 'lan'

Any help is appreciated!

The first query uses adblock server you have configured and the second query uses DNS cache to answer, Still gives the same IP for both 0.0.0.0

Thanks for the reply.

I found the mistake. I use a WiFi Access Point behind the OpenWRT router as well, and the Access Point apparently queried some public DNS server as a fallback for the adblock NX response from OpenWRT.
