 * **scheduled list updates:** for a scheduled call of the adblock service add an appropriate crontab entry (see example below)
 * **restrict/disable procd interface trigger:** to restrict the procd interface trigger to a (list of) certain wan interface(s) or to disable it at all, set 'adb\_iface' to an existing interface like 'wan' or to a non-existing like 'false'
 * **suspend & resume adblocking:** to quickly switch the adblock service 'on' or 'off', simply use _/etc/init.d/adblock [suspend|resume]_
+* **domain query:** to query the active block lists for a specific domain, please run _/etc/init.d/adblock query `<DOMAIN>`_ (see example below)
 * **divert dns requests:** to force dns requests to your local dns resolver add an appropriate firewall rule (see example below)
 * **add new list sources:** you could add new block list sources on your own via uci config, all you need is a source url and an awk one-liner (see example below)
 * **disable active dns probing in windows 10:** to prevent a yellow exclamation mark on your internet connection icon (which wrongly means connected, but no internet), please change the following registry key/value from "1" to "0" _HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet\EnableActiveProbing_
