Blocked site still accessible

I got an alert that said a device on my network had "visited porn website mixmarket.biz"

This is a dodgy website (I'm not sure if it's porn, it looks like one of those ad slinging sites), in any case, I told Firewalla to block the site.  

Next, looking at the list of Blocked Sites, there is an entry for *.mixmarket.biz however this does not one if one goes to mixmarket.biz without a subdomain (http://mixmarket.biz)

So can you fix the block to block both *.domain.tld AND domain.tld?

Note the block DOES work for matching URLs like www.mixmarket.biz, it's just the domain itself that is still accessible.

  Jeff, got it. will mark it as a bug, we will look at it.  We are doing some work in the backend, so some of the markings of sites may change ... hopefully for the better :)

  Looks like this was already taken care of 1/6/18:

  I see the correct behavior in my device ver 1.95.12 (ga8de6e1), iOS app ver 1.25 (24)

   

  The developers are certainly keeping busy and yet so very responsive (don’t you wish all companies were this way?) Happy lunar New Years!
