Is there a way to block Newly Active Domains?

Hi there,

There is indeed such a feature. It is located in the "Security" section. It is called "Block Newly Registered Domains (NRDs)" and will block domains registered less than 30 days ago.

Hope that helps.

Yes, as of my experience with it, there is a way to block newly active domains using NextDNS, which is especially useful for securing AI laptops, where preventing access to potentially harmful or suspicious domains is crucial for both data privacy and system integrity.

NextDNS provides a feature called "Newly Registered Domains" (NRD) blocking, which allows you to automatically block domains that were recently registered or have become active. This is particularly important since many phishing or malicious activities originate from such domains before they can be categorized or flagged.

Here’s how you can enable this feature in NextDNS:

1. Log in to your NextDNS dashboard.
2. Go to Security settings.
3. Enable the Block Newly Registered Domains option.

This setting helps in proactively securing your AI laptops by blocking access to domains that haven’t yet established trustworthiness, adding an extra layer of security. In environments where AI laptops are used for sensitive tasks, this feature can help mitigate risks from zero-day threats or newly emerging attack vectors.

NextDNS offers granular control, so you can customize the blocklist and even allow exceptions if needed, ensuring that your AI-driven workflows are both protected and efficient.
