    When pfBlockerNG blocks a domain, does it block it's IP address?

      pfBlockerNG can block domains with DNSBL. Does it do that by resolving the IP address (or addresses) of the domain and then blocking that address? Or does it block the domains during DNS resolving?

        It resolves the domain name to the DNSBL webserver's IP via Unbound. That's all.

          You mean the host's, right? I'm looking to block all types of traffic, not just HTTP and HTTPS.
