URL blocking by keyword

[HowieFQ]

Hi,

Is it possible to block URL's by keyword?
For example adding a keyword of "tiktok" will block all URLs with the keyword "tiktok" in it.

Regards,
Howie

DNSBL wildcard can do something like that

Yes, I understand you can add .tiktok.com (wildcard *.tiktok.com) to also block all subdomains. But I'm looking for something that blocks at both ends. ie: .tiktok. (wildcard *.tiktok.* i.e. any TLD).

@howiefq

Have you tried the wildcard at the end

Have not thought about that

But should work that way

Do you have pfBlockerNG installed?
If so you could add a GeoIP alias and using TikTok's ASN number
Create a block outgoing rule using the previous alias. pfBlocker can create such a rule for you automatically on the GUI

TikTok AS138699

I didn't come up with this myself so credit where credit is due: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/177149/blocking-wechat-and-tiktok
