Any time a device makes a DNS request to a domain, it’s checked against the list. If found, it’s stopped. If not found, it gets sent upstream to your choice of a public DNS configured during setup. I use Cloudflare (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1).
I was under the impression that Tahoe translates to “big water” which is funny.
But “Tar pit Tar pit”, “Way Way” and “Desert Desert” are indeed infuriating.
