FAQ: Can I use wildcards when specifying sites?

Yes. The wildcard character (*) can be used match any number of characters except forward-slashes.

Examples:

  • *.com will block all dot-com sites.
  • *.somesite.com will block all subdomains of somesite.com.
  • * on its own will block all sites.

Note that * will also match no characters (e.g., foo*bar.com will block foobar.com).

If you want to match any number of characters including forward-slashes, use a double-wildcard (**).

If you want to match one or more characters, use a wildcard-plus (*+).
