More information about FQDNs that are blocked

It would be nice if DNSFilter provided more detailed info about FQDNs that are blocked. For example, I would like the ability to click the domain name and have WHOIS information displayed. Something similar to what Cisco Talos or Brightcloud offers for security information would be ideal. I'm sure DNSFilter already has this information for internal use.

Hardware device for DNS relay

DNSFilter should make a hardware device that can be plugged into a network with a static IP, configured as the DNS server, and offer DNS relay. A GUI configuration option would be great to configure relaying DNS to DNSFilter so that LAN IPs can be recorded. Ability to work across multiple VLANs would be ideal. This shouldn't be incredibly expensive as a small Pi could probably accomplish this. Supporting DoT back to DNSFilter would be an added benefit.

Scheduled Reports Improvements

We have Scheduled DNS Protection Summary Report. Can we get this kind of system generated report but more detailed, for example, top blocked and categorized requests and threats. Thanks.

Integration with Rewst

Rewst is an automation and processing platform dedicated to MSPs and MSP use cases. rewst.io

AI Check on Parked Sites & Domains

We like to use the Parked Sites & Domains options - however it blocks too many valid sites. Suggestion to have the AI run a categorization check on these sites to try and properly Categorize them. Much in the same way it runs on a Uncategorized Sites.

Block download sites - i.e. where you can download stuff like lantern

We don't want to block all exe/zip but maybe we do? And certainly Lantern.io needs to be added to proxy avoidance or something.

Use configuration files when installing MacOS roaming client

The installer or architecture should incorporate the use of Mobile Configuration Profiles or Plist entries to store or read the Secret Keys from, which is the the standard setup for macOS apps and packages.

Transparent URL Filtering

Allow URL filtering, where only a specific URL or directory (IE: www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/ ) would be filtered, but not the entire domain. Note: HTTPS support would require installing our Root CA SSL Certificate - https://trello.com/c/GVov9v6V/34-installable-ca-for-ssl-blocked-sites

Category to block suicide/self-harm websites

According to the CDC, suicide is the second-highest cause of death for 15-19 year olds, and a significant cause of death at all ages. There should be a category to block access to sites that promote suicide and self-harm.

Improve notes functionality on Allow & Block lists

The notes feature is appreciated, but it could use some additional enhancements to improve overall function: 1) Allow editing of notes on existing list entries. 2) If a new entry raises the 'CNAME' workflow (where additional domains are recommended & added alongside the initial domain), apply any notes from the original entry to the CNAME entries as well. 3) Allow for notes entry from the 'inline' allow/block function on the Domain Query tool.
