According to the latest data from the BSI (German Government Organization) there are Windows telemetry endpoints that are formatted in the following way: watson.*.microsoft.com

Those domains can't be easily blocked via the deny list, so I am putting them here for inclusion in the windows tracking list.
For that, it would be nice if NextDNS could support Regex based blocking. The regex for the domains would be watson\..*\.microsoft\.com.

The file from which I took the domain is located here:

Currently there are only 3 active watson domains, these could be added to the blacklist:

watson.telemetry.microsoft.com
watson.events.data.microsoft.com
watson.ppe.telemetry.microsoft.com
