36.5. DNS Blacklist (Web filter)

36.5. DNS Blacklist (Web filter)
	Chapter 36. DNS - Domain Name System

The DNS Blacklist blocks the resolving of some defined domains.

36.5.1. Enable DNS Blacklist resource

To enable the DNS blacklist the DNS Relay must be enabled, and the RELAY-BLACKLIST parameter must be set to yes.

	Caution
	To activate the changes made on the upper case parameters, execute the initialization command init res:dns; while to set act the changes made on the lowercase parameters a save conf and an Abilis restart are required (i.e. With warm start command).

Note

Check if PCs are configured with the right DNS server. The DNS server must be only one and only the local gateway. For the PCs that have dynamically assigned IP address check the DHCP server configuration on the Abilis.

Note

If someone intentionally changes the DNS server to access a page that is blocked, then it needs to configure the access list to block external DNS requests. Use the following commands to add new filters to the IP access list:

	Note
	It's necessary to already be activated the IPACL. Refer to the following chapter: Section 29.1.2, “Activating IPACL”

	Note
	After you have banned a domain to apply immediately blocking is necessary to flush a computer's DNS cache.

36.5.2. DNS Blacklist tables

The following command shows the list of the resolved domains:

[10:55:50] ABILIS_CPX:d dns blacklist resolved

Resolved domains (9/2000):

FQDN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fhr.data.mozilla.com
- dns.msftncsi.com
- gtssl-ocsp.geotrust.com
- example.com
- www.iana.org
- antek.it
- www.aylook.com
- www.antek.it
- www.elettrorapido.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To add a domain to the list of banned domains, use the following command:

[10:56:08] ABILIS_CPX:a dns blacklist banned dn:example.com

COMMAND EXECUTED

[10:56:34] ABILIS_CPX:d dns blacklist banned

Banned domains (1/2000):

DN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- example.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To remove a domain from the list of banned domains use the following command

[10:56:48] ABILIS_CPX:c dns blacklist banned dn:example.com
                                                                     
COMMAND EXECUTED

36.5.3. DNS Blacklist management through the web interface

To manage the DNS Blacklist using the web interface go on the Abilis homepage, login and click on Web filter.

Figure 36.1. DNS Blacklist web interface 1

There are 2 ways to put a domain in the banned domains list:

Select the domain from the 'Resolved domains' list and click on 'Full domain', '2nd level', '3rd level' or '4th level'.
Insert the domain in the textbox near to the 'Ban domain' button and click Ban domain.

Click on Submit to save and apply the changes.

Figure 36.2. DNS Blacklist web interface 2

To remove a domain from the Banned list, select it and click on Remove. Click on Submit to save and apply the changes.
