Adguard DNS... most queries are "Processed". What does that even mean? (lemmy.ca)

I've been trying out NextDNS and comparing it to Adguard DNS (adguard-dns-.io), but unlike NextDNS, Adguard DNS' query log is quite vague, and I can't even tell if it's doing anything.

99% of the listed items in the Adguard DNS query log show up as "Processed", but the request clearly shows either advertiser or tracking as the categories.

It seems that unless I actually click BLOCK, the status doesn't really list these requests as Blocked, except for a very small number.

Is this normal behaviour? I assume any requests showing "processed" but not "blocked" are still going through, which is bad. NextDNS shows these same requests clearly as blocked or not, so at least I know that it's working.

Anyone have any thoughts, or clarification on how it works?
