Build lists of domains to block or allow
You can create your own domain lists to specify domain categories that you either don't find in the managed domain list offerings or that you prefer to handle on your own.
In addition to the procedures described in this section, in the console, you can create a domain list in the context of DNS Firewall rule management, when you create or update a rule.
Each domain specification in your domain list must satisfy the following requirements:
-
It can optionally start with
*(asterisk). -
With the exception of the optional starting asterisk and a period, as a delimiter between labels, it must only contain the following characters:
A-Z,a-z,0-9,-(hyphen). -
It must be from 1-255 characters in length.
