• Your Issue Detail:

I'm just wondering why presearch.org is blocked. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I've seen articles -- like [1] below -- talking about how they still don't censor search results, and at least according to their site (see [2] below) they seem "above board" so to speak.

Also I really like your blocklists and I'm pretty sure there's a good reason why it was blocked. I'm just wondering what that reason is.

1. Create a NextDNS config that includes the above mentioned blocklists
2. Visit presearch.org
3. The DNS response will be 0.0.0.0 or you'll get a NextDNS block page (depending on your NextDNS config)

Thank you for making Energized Protection great, with your kind help!
