Allow list-Only refers to the concept of blocking all possible domains by default, except those specified by an Allow list. This is also referred to as a “default deny” policy, rather than a “default allow” policy.
The dashboard doesn’t have a single switch to enable Allow list-Only mode, but this can be achieved by blocking all possible categories in the dashboard.

Setting up an Allow list-Only Filtering Policy doesn't mean adding a single domain will result in a fully functional website. In almost all cases, websites use multiple domains and services to load content associated with the website.

If you add the below domains to a CSV and import them, this should block all domains:
Remember to read the 'Not Recommended' section above, as this can be a very manual job to add singular domains to an allow list-only policy.
If you do stumble on a domain that filters through this list, please contact our Support team so we can update this list.
