URL block list format

A URL Blocking List can be any ASCII text file containing the header URL Blocking Import File and these sections:

[block]

[allow]

• Note: Approved lists using the [approved] format cannot be imported. Blocked and allowed lists using the [blocked] and [allowed] formats can be imported.

There is no limit to the number of URLs you can include in a block list. There is no need to include http:// or https:// in the URL (it is automatically stripped). Delimit separate Web addresses, URLs, and/or strings using a line break. Block-lists support the following * and ? wildcards.
