Hello,

Tried to block TLD *.zip via menu. Do not want anyone to click on .zip domains.... stupid Google offering .zip domains (sigh) dumb move. Tried AmTm -> skynet -> (2) to ban -> (3) for domain -> *.zip. I can still get to url.zip in webbrowser (harmless site) not mine, but testing.... want no one to get to *.zip domains, period!!! Too confusing for family, who ain;'t teckie.
 
This isn't a good use for Skynet. It will try to resolve zip one time via nslookup and not get any result. Better to block it via dnsmasq.conf.add using a statement like:
Code:
server=/zip/

there is this thread from last year that has some recent activity due to concerns about google's .zip and .mov TLD's.
