I configured my dnsmasq to block some queries and I want to log it,
the problem is that dnsmasq can't log them in dnsmasq,log file. Is
there a way to log blocked quereies. THX

No.

Log all queries and then simply filter the rest out.

Or just use Pihole instead which is more aimed at such a purpose.

I'm trying to recreate Pi-hole, in this case how do you recommend
logging all the DNS queries? Thx for answering.

Have you simply looked at the dnsmasq documentation?

Example: `log-queries log-facility=/tmp/dnsmasq.log`
