DNSBL doesn't block search engine links
-
I have a custom list in DNSBL that contains a few websites. If I type xxxx.com(any blocked domain on the list) into a browser, it get's correctly pointed to 10.10.10.1 and shows a 1x1 blank image. However, if I go to a search engine, search for xxxx, then click on a link for xxxx.com, the site loads with no issues.
I have the unbound DNS resolver set up, and a firewall rule to block all outgoing DNS traffic.
Can anyone help me figure out what might be going wrong here?

Did you enable the "TLD" option? Without TLD, only the listed domain/sub-domain is blocked…
So without TLD:
example.com will be blocked
sub.example.com will not be blockedWith TLD:
All sub-domains are blocked.

Thanks! I figured I was missing something simple ::) the search result link was going through because it had a "www." on the front. Enabling TLD fixed it.
