    This is actually great design… you are being warned about a breach in privacy. How’s the bad design?

    If you blocked it at the DNS level, I’m surprised the error wasn’t a resolution failure. Who’s on the other side of this connection pretending to be Google Analytics??

        You’re probably right. Rather than responding with NXDOMAIN, they’re probably synthesizing A or AAAA records that point to their own server. IMO, this is super weird behavior in the era of HTTPS. I’m also pretty sure there’s an IETF RFC that says recursive resolvers “MUST NOT” synthesize address records, but I can’t seem to dig it up on my phone (pun intended ;).

          It’s an option, default off. If you enable it it prompts you to install the CA for the block page.
