Is there a way to whitelist domains to exclude them from DNS filtering, or even exclude a device from DNS filtering and/or monitoring?  The whitelists I create in 'rules' aren't being applied and I'm being denied access to domains I need to access.

  If you see "domains blocks" and "allow" does not fix it and you do not have any rules blocking, it is likely the domain is invalid.  Or the domain is only valid if you are using a corporate network.

  The problem is that it happens while I'm connected to my corporate VPN....it would be nice to have some kind of domain level master override for the DNS blocking, or a way to tell firewalla that a specific VPN connection is to be trusted.  As is, I can't maintain a constant connection to my workplace when firewalla monitoring is enabled and that's a huge issue.

  If you are connecting to your corporate VPN and still see blocks of the domains ... you are likely to have a DNS leak outside from your corporate network. 

  Meaning the "blocks" you see are likely corporate-specific Domains that are not found by firewalla and marked as blocked.
