    • Periodical reload of external black and white lists
    • Regex support
    • Blocking of request domain, response CNAME (deep CNAME inspection) and response IP addresses (against IP lists)
  • Advanced DNS configuration - not just an ad-blocker

    • Custom DNS resolution for certain domain names
    • Conditional forwarding to external DNS server
    • Upstream resolvers can be defined per client group
  • Performance - Improves speed and performance in your network

    • Customizable caching of DNS answers for queries -> improves DNS resolution speed and reduces amount of external DNS queries
