I've been using it for quite a while. It blocks about 30-45% of my daily
DNS requests.... IPv4 & IPv6

It is quite an effective DNS based pre-filter

And you get warnings like this
2022-01-28 00:00:48    RATE_LIMIT    Client fd00::9b3a:1467:d7db:58c9 has been 
rate-limited (current config allows up to 1000 queries in 60 seconds)


which might help you in case of problems. (In this case this was my
laptop starting an odd job)
