    Blocking TLDs

    Hello @whygoogle,

    if you dare to try, it would be nice if you report back to us.

    It would be quite possible to get unexpected results.
    What happens if you want to order a replacement zipper for the jacket or movie tickets, for example?

    I've tried a few more options after I marked it solved but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it the way I want using Kaspersky. Using the Anti-Banner seems to be hit or miss, sometimes it completely blocks the page and sometimes it only blocks a few things like CSS and JS files (and it doesn't work at all with redirects).

    I don't have a Raspberry Pi or something similar to act as a DNS server for my router right now so I just installed DNS proxies on my machines and set it to block *.zip and *.mov domains and it works perfectly.

    That domain in the screenshot is used for protesting against such TLDs, but if it's against the rules I can reupload a blurred version.

    If anyone wants to replicate what I did, I used Acrylic DNS Proxy on Windows machines and dnsmasq on Linux. Former is an open-source software and latter is available on pretty much every distro. There are not many alternatives for Windows but any software that works as a "DNS proxy" will do the same thing and they are much easier to set up than full blown DNS servers

    For the Anti-Banner, " *.zip/* " and " *.mov/* " rules seems to work best, that also prevents URLs like a1.zippo.example.com/xyz/abc.html and example.com/test.zip/index.html from getting blocked.

    Thank you @nexon but I'm looking for a way to completly block specific TLDs. Not all of my relatives are tech savy and I don't want to take any risks with them. No self-respecting company would touch those TLDs with a ten foot stick anyway so it's best to just block it completely.

    I tried the Hosts file but it doesn't support wildcards so it would be really great if there is a way to block them from Kaspersky interface without installing something else.

    Google recently started selling .zip and .mov TLDs and I don't want to bother with blacklists or ad blockers to block those domains.

    I'm currently using Kaspersky Plus and I tried adding "*.zip" and "*.mov" rules in Safe Browsing but it doesn't seem to work properly. Is there a way to add something like a DNS entry to completely block those TLDs be it web traffic or not?
