Hostname

Use Whitelist Hostname to explicitly allow traffic from trusted hostnames or wildcard hostname patterns.

Whitelist hostname rules are useful when a trusted service is repeatedly matched by other filtering rules but should still be allowed.

• Wildcard hostname entries can match many hosts.

• Only whitelist hostnames that you trust.

• Review whitelist entries regularly to avoid keeping old exceptions.
