[Smoothwall] Blacklist www.domain.(all GTLD's) with a wildcard?

[Garacesh]

IllegalMusicPiracySite.com

IllegalMusicPiracySite.Net

IllegalMusicPiracySite.org

IllegalMusicPiracySite.yoga (no, seriously, .yoga)

 

It's just a losing game of whack-a-mole to keep on top of these. Smoothwall doesn't like it if I do IllegalMusicPiracySite.*

Is there a way to block with wildcards?

 

Edit: Did this get moved, or did I post in the wrong forum like a numpty? I meant to post this the into Smoothwall forum.

Block the URL patterns rather than the URL?

Don't know about Smoothwall but in Dansguardian this would require a rule using a regular expression to filter domains/URLS.

 

As Smoothwall is derived from Dansguardian I'm assuming it should be similar.

Sounds like a regex would be the best bet here, possibly a URL pattern.

 

You could make an appropriate one using the regex builders online

I don't claim to be an expert on regular expressions, but something like:

 

(IllegalMusicPiracySite)

 

1st Capturing group (IllegalMusicPiracySite)

IllegalMusicPiracySite matches the characters IllegalMusicPiracySite literally (case sensitive)
