No, not really. What exactly are you trying to do?

 

The way this is usually done is using something like pihole which effectively blocks websites. It can be rather easily circumvented tho, if the user knows anything about DNS.

Thanks to the developer my Router can Block them to. Sadly some Block List contain false positive. Since my Router Download there File every Day I cant edit them or do something. So I need a Whitelist with all of the neccecary URL so that everyone can use the Web. Like Font Awesome,...

1. Which router?
2. Which blocklist?
3. Do you have a "query log" of the blocked/allowed items?

You probably don’t want to do it with an allow list… things are to dynamic for this. Using a block list will have less “blocks in error” then an allow list will have “failed to allow”.
 

If your router supports block lists, then use the default pihole block lists for instance; they work very well.

Sorry I dont know the Therm. I see in an local Log when someone try to connect to an "bad"/ blocked URL. Well since many People surf without an Ad Blocker that Log get DAMN fast "full" (well "full" is not the right terme since the Router save the Log on an USB 512GB Flash Drive as "Backup")

Do you have an URL to an "Plain Text" List?

 

Here for example what Microsoft need: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/safe-url-list?tabs=azure

 

I use this List: https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=nohtml&showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext

 The Zyxel ATP line is intended for small to medium sized businesses, so it makes sense for the security to be high. Are you allowed to use other blocklists or is the McAfee list tied to the ATP?

 

Spoiler

BTW, I didn’t realize McAfee was still doing stuff…

As I’ve found out recently, not all blocklists can be used for all firewalls. The syntax varies based on the platform the list is intended for.

 

This is the one by StevenBlack that is usually included by default on PiHole setup. Firebog also has their collection. You can compare them to the McAfee blocklist to see if they’re similar and replace the McAfee one. One of these is less likely to cause false detections.

Ity my Router I can do what I want to. There are 2 methods the first one is the Contend Filter who I can select a "bad" Categorie like Ads and the get blocked. In addition I can use external Lists to. When I remember right for Black and With List.

Here is the official Demo: https://atp500demo.zyxel.com/

https://sitelookup.mcafee.com/?p=mcafee&product=01-ts

 

I also found this German Site: https://www.technoy.de/lists/blocklists-fuer-pihole/

 

But sadly I need a "White List" since the bad get blocked by the Contend Filter.

If your block list is blocking too many “good” sites, you need to use a less aggressive list. 
 

The pihole list mentioned above is not overly aggressive and has only broken 1 or 2 links for me over the years, but it does a great job of stopping adds.

Which is basically what I do at work. We are one of those "why so serious" compaines and somehow used mcafee as network filter.

I just allow the site and its CDN urls whenever any user requests because it's blocked by stupid mcafee. Games, shows, ideas, entertainment, I allow them all.

So maybe someone have a URL?
