It might be cool to use this API to temporarily unblock a domain in use by the current site. Might require a browser extension, but is it possible?

They specifically call out adding domains to the deny list as an example:

> …or add a domain to the Denylist by POST‘ing at: https://api.nextdns.io/profiles/:profile/denylist

So I assume the same can be done for allowlists.

I recently started using NextDNS, and it's great, but was thinking about exactly this use case as I went to my allow-list yet again to add a domain so I could use some app/site, I forget which.

NextDNS is great, but occasionally breaks things depending on the blocklists enabled, so I was toying with the idea of building a utility that would show the last n blocked domains with an easy option to click-to-add a specific domain to the allow-list.

As far as I can tell, the API has what's needed.
