BLOCKDOMAINS(5)

NAME
blockdomains - block list file format

SYNOPSIS

/etc/blockdomains/acl/blocklist.acl

ln -s ../acl/blocklist.acl /etc/blockdomains/blocked/

DESCRIPTION

blockdomains uses one or more block list files which contain declaratios of the domains to block, one domain per line that starts with any number of whitespace characters followed by a period (".") before the domain to block. The blocking applies to the domain and all its sub domains.

    Anything not starting with a period (".") is a comment and leading whitespace is ignored. Block list domains start with optional whitespace and a period, followed by the domain name to block, optionally followed by a whitespace and a comment. Like the following:

Example of block list

      .bad.domain.com -- domain name up to whitespace is blocked

    Blank lines are fine too; they treated as comments. The block list
    domains don't need to be column aligned. So, here is another:

    .another.domain.to.block
    End of block list example.
