Blocklists

Blocklists are collections of expressions which define queries to block. Blocklists work similar to Firewall Aliases in that they help administrators avoid having to define the same settings on multiple groups.

The Blocklists section in CoreDNS contains Blocklists created manually in CoreDNS as well as lists created automatically by ThreatGate.

Blocklist Settings

When creating or editing a Blocklist entry, the following settings are available:

Name

A name for the Blocklist.

Description

Text describing the purpose of the Blocklist.

Domains

A list of FQDN or expression entries, one per line.

Creating a Blocklist

To create a new Blocklist:

  • Navigate to Services > CoreDNS

  • Find the Blocklists section

  • Click the nexus-add-sep-list Add Item button

  • Configure the Blocklist as described in Blocklist Settings

  • Click OK

After creating the list, assign it to a group.
