I am currently using your code and my smart TV that is 4 years old stopped accessing any of its smart services. so whitelisting the following list helped:
sas.samsungcloudsolution.com
time.samsungcloudsolution.com
gpm.samsungqbe.com
samsungotn.net
log-ingestion-eu.samsungacr.com
otnprd11.samsungcloudsolution.net
otnprd8.samsungcloudsolution.net
cdn.samsungcloudsolution.com
noticecdn.samsungcloudsolution.com

Not sure if all are needed or if I need more but I was only trying to start Youtube and this least seemed to do the job.

I had to whitelist lcprd1.samsungcloudsolution.net, because otherwise many Smart Hub things didn't work.

I had to whitelist ns11.whois.co.kr for the TV to pass the network status checks, was showing as not connected prior to that.

Is the updates issue still here? ... I mean should I disable this black list just to check a TV update?

I am not using this list, however at least one of the domains on this list was required in order to do initial setup of smart features on my new Samsung S32AM702UN. This domain was found in 3 of my lists and after whitelisting it, I was able to complete setup and update my device.

I haven't tracked down the functionally, but the following are being used by the Samsung AN65QN90AAFXZA:
samsungqbe.com
samsungcloudsolution.com
bamgrid.com
samsungnyc.com

Seems scs.samsungqbe.com must be enabled on a 2018 32” Samsung TV for the native Hulu app to play certain shows.

  • SAMSUNG 32-inch Class LED Smart FHD TV 1080P (UN32N5300AFXZA, 2018 Model)

Also, if disabled, the TV retries it every few seconds, 24/7, whether Hulu is on or not.

Incidentally, using not this gist, but Perflyst and Dandelion Sprout's Smart-TV Blocklists, on this TV Netflix works fine but for Amazon Prime to work on the same TV, api.us-east-1.aiv-delivery.net was required.

For the Samsung tv to believe it is connected to the internet I had to add this to the whitelist:

*.samsungqbe.com

Is the whitelist actually working? Do they block native apps like Plex, YouTube?

Youtube ads can't be blocked via DNS.
