Blacklist [DENY]

The CF "Blacklist [DENY]" Tool is for adding sites that you want ConFetch to block the next time you run ConFetch. If you absolutely need to quickly unblock a site you visit often, try the CF UNBLOCK Tool for that. The Whitelist [ALLOW] tool is meant for removing sites that might be blocked by ConFetch's imported source lists, the next time you run ConFetch. These tools are all available from the program's icon group: select Start, select (All) Programs, select ConFetch PRO, select ConFetch Tools to find them.

Using the Blacklist Tool is easy if you follow a few simple tips. If you aren't in a hurry and want to block (deny) a site or list of sites with ConFetch, then use the Blacklist [DENY] icon to open the file with Notepad and use normal domain name format as shown in this example (you'd never want to block these sites, they are just samples of the format the Blacklist requires):

forums.treewalkdns.com
godaddy.com
google.com
ntcanuck.com
secureserver.net
treewalk.net
treewalkdns.com
w3.org
windowsupdate.microsoft.com

As mentioned, you'd never want to block these sites with ConFetch as they are used for examples only. Any names placed into this file will be copied into your filter.conf blocking file after you've saved the Blacklist. This Blacklisting action will take effect immediately following the next time you run ConFetch.

ConFetch can remove some characters, duplicates, protocols, blank lines, et cetera but you should always use the format that the TreeWalk name daemon requires.

Be aware that if you use an exact duplicate entry in both the Blacklist [DENY] and Whitelist [ALLOW] files at the same time the Blacklist entry will always override any matching Whitelist entry.

 Would you like to help out? 

Well, you could run the "ConFetch Information Tool" you'll find in the ConFetch Tools folder in the Programs menu and attach your results to an email! Your email info will never be used for anything other than for ConFetch development: support@confetch.com. Do not adjust the subject line or delivery may fail! ((If you don't want your email info stored on the server, just mention in the message body that you'd like it deleted after the attachment has been saved.))
