Blocking entire domains with SOHO router

Product Discussion Other Products

Hello,
First time posting here… I have had a SOHO V2 router for a number of years and I was wondering if it is possible to block an entire domain. i.e *.cyou. These guys are relentless and while I can block IP addresses, they just find another server and so the incoming hits just come from elsewhere. It would be easier just to block the domain.

Thanks

Robert

Hello and Good Day
Go to advanced tab, Firewall, content blocking, web blocking
then set a customized domain.

FYI. Web blocking does not need asterisks. Entering “abc.com” would block anything that ended with “abc.com”. Its as if it was *.abc.com. Note though, that is does not block xyzabc.com. It does block x.abc.com and y.abc.com and anything.else.abc.com.

You can also block at a higher level. For example, I block “cm” because people often type “cm” instead of “com” and bad guys take advantage of them.

There’s one I never thought of. Updated my NextDNS TLD blocklist

Thank… I need to look into NextDNS. Can’t just put *.cyou to block content from there. Putting cyou has no affect.
