[QUOTE="valvaris, post: 1027666, member: 38787"] The thing is the Internet does not only revolve around DNS... (DNS to IP or IP to DNS / Forward and Reverse Lookups) For a better protection you should limit your GEO Size to the ones you really need. Example: US and EU This goes for Incoming and Outgoing traffic. Like this even if malware hits a system, they will have a much more tough time to exfiltrate data or even connect to C2C Servers. The other Sideeffect is that DNS Requests out of the GEO Range will not reach the Systemes. There are open-source projects that help lots PFsense and pfBlockerNG. OPNsense has a free way to implement GEO Blocking. This is all at the Network level and then add NextDNS / Cisco Umbrella / Cloudflare and such... At the Browser I recommend UBlock Origin / Adguard for a little added extra. Best regards Val. [/QUOTE]
