Rejected queries flood the query log too fast. Add option to "Allowed Queries" or "Don't show rejected" ?

Description

I've blocked Geforce Experience and many such annoying telemetry programs with DNSCrypt as a final layer. They flood the query log like CRAZY as you can see: (This was in less than 30 seconds btw)

![flooded queries](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/45701361/93632769-84557a00-fa0b-11ea-82b6-2582a5073eb0.PNG)

I often check the query log to block unwanted requests, and I basically can't use the query log from app's window because 5 times a second, blocked programs are sending DNS requests and they keep getting rejected, keep scrolling down in the list and flood the list with unwanted garbage as well.

**Please: Add an option - "Dont show blocked queries in query log"**, **or add an "Allowed Queries" tab instead** so it's easier to manage queries.

Thanks! :)

Research direction

Start by locating the query log in the app window and reviewing how rejected DNS requests are displayed. Confirm whether the intended result is an option to hide rejected queries, an Allowed Queries view, or both; done should make the query log usable without repeated rejected requests flooding it.
