Configure Domain name settings. A domain name is a user-friendly name used to identify a Web site. An example is www.nvidia.com.
Note: The firewall blocks DNS lookups of domain names. The user can bypass this filter by directly entering an IP address rather than domain name to access a web site, if the IP address is known.
Note: This web page is controlled by the Security Profiles field in the Personal Firewall Basic Configuration page. If a fixed profile (without the word "Custom" in the name) is selected, this web page is read-only and no configuration change is allowed. The Edit column, "Apply", "Add Rule" and "Purge Table" buttons are removed. If a custom profile is selected, configuration change is allowed on this web page.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Action | This rule (allow or deny) is applied when a DNS packet contains a domain name that does not match any rule in the domain name rule table. |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit | Click the  icon in the row of the rule that you want to edit. This opens the Rule Edit page where you can edit the fields.
|
| Rule Order | The rules by default are sorted by the Rule Order column, which is both the order that the rules have been added and the order that they will be applied. Executing the rules in the order of their creation allows you to add overlapping rules that provide one action for a more generic range of IP addresses or domain names, while having a different action for a more specific IP or domain. For example, if you first create an 'IP Address' table rule to allow address 10.1.1.2 and mask 255.255.255.255, and then create a rule to deny address 10.1.1.0 and mask 255.255.255.0, then the 'IP Address' table will allow traffic to 10.1.1.2 but will block other IP address beginning with 10.1.1.x. Traffic to 10.1.1.2 will not be blocked by the second rule of this table because the first rule already matches it. You can similarly set up the 'Domain Name' table to block a generic domain suffix (like example.com) but allow specific domain names (foo.example.com).
