 In `IP` mode, blocked queries will be answered with the local IP addresses of your Pi-hole (see [BLOCK_IP4](configfile.md#block_ipv4) and [BLOCK_IP6](configfile.md#block_ipv6) for additional options). To set this mode explicitly, set `BLOCKINGMODE=IP` in `/etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf`.

 In `NXDOMAIN` mode, blocked queries will be answered with an empty response (i.e., there won't be an *answer* section) and status `NXDOMAIN`. A `NXDOMAIN` response should indicate that there is *no such domain* to the client making the query. To set this mode explicitly, set `BLOCKINGMODE=NXDOMAIN` in `/etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf`.
