Add a block list

Before you start

• You need the admin or operator role.
• You need a policy that you can edit in the dashboard.

A new node already uses the small starter list. Add another list when you need more coverage.

1. Choose a source

1. Open Filtering > Lists.
2. Click New list.
3. Select Block list on the Type step.
4. Click Next.
5. Select one of the Well-known lists on the Sources step.

Figure 1. Choose a source for the list.

2. Attach the list to a policy

1. Click Next to open Options.
2. Enter home-ads in Name.
3. Select default in Use in policies.
4. Keep Start enabled on.
5. Click Next.
6. Check the summary on Review.
7. Click Create list.

Figure 2. A policy must use the list for it to affect clients.

If Review says No policy uses this list, go back and select a policy. For a policy managed by a file or Kubernetes, change its blockListRefs at the source.

Check the result

Open the new list. Check that Entries is greater than zero and Health shows OK. Search for a name from that list in Which lists contain a domain?. Query that name from a client, then check its result in Query log.
