Define my networks
This new section was created primarily for ISPs using one or more DNS Proxies. It enables the block page to respond correctly to various clients, even when their IP addresses cannot be entered directly in the “Networks” section (due to system-imposed limitations). Since all DNS requests are forwarded to the DNS Proxy, which in turn forwards them to the cloud using a single public IP address, it is not necessary to register each public IP individually in the “Networks” section. However, you will need to enter your public IPs in the new “Define My Networks” section to ensure that the custom block page displays correctly.
To add a new IP address for the blocking page to recognize, follow these simple steps:
- Insert the IP address in the entry bar provided, making sure to separate the digits with a colon (“.”) character for IPv4 and a colon (“:”) character for IPv6. IPv6 addresses can be abbreviated by omitting leading zeros or by using double colons (“::”) to represent sequences of zeros. The system supports both entering a single IP address and adding a block of addresses in CIDR format. Below are some examples of how to enter IP addresses correctly:
- IPv4 (single address): 44.68.121.88
- IPv4 (CIDR): 201.34.3.96/24
- IPv6 (single address): 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 or abbreviated as: 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334
- IPv6 (CIDR): 2001:db8::/32
- Confirm the entry by clicking on the “Add” button. If the value entered is valid and the operation is successful, the newly added address is displayed immediately below the entry panel.
To remove an IP address (or CIDR), simply click the trashcan-shaped button located to the left of the item in question.
PLEASE NOTE:
- IPs registered through this feature only allow the display of their own custom block page. Any DNS requests made from these IP addresses will be rejected, as they are not enabled for DNS service.
- The IPs entered in this section are associated only with the global block page and not with the custom pages for each profile.
