IP Address Blocking Rule dialog
(Main window -> Tools menu -> IP Address Blocking -> Add/Edit)
|
Use this dialog to enter details for rules listed in the IP Address Blocking dialog:
| There are two types of rules; "Blocked" and "Trusted".
|
| DNS requests from "Blocked" IP addresses will simply be ignored.
|
| "Trusted" IP addresses will not be blocked automatically even if they exceed the "Maximum DNS requests per second" setting.
|
| Enter the IP address (or first IP address of a subnet) that should be blocked/trusted.
|
| Select the subnet mask of the IP address(es) that should be blocked/trusted (255.255.255.255 means a single IP address).
|
| Specify if/when this rule should expire.
|
| If you select a specific date/time or a length of time, the rule will automatically be removed after this.
|
| Enter any comments you like - for example an explanation for why this IP/subnet is blocked/trusted.
|
| Simple DNS Plus automatically creates a comment about when the rule was created when automatically blocking.
