PR60X - Domain-Based Filtering in Firewall Traffic Rules
Dear Netgear Team,
currently, the Traffic Rules feature only allows filtering based on IP addresses, ports, and services. While this works for many use cases, it is not sufficient for scenarios where modern services rely on dynamically changing IP addresses (e.g., CDNs or cloud-based endpoints).
It would be highly beneficial to have the ability to define firewall rules based on domain names (FQDN).
Ideally, this feature could include:
support for FQDN in Traffic Rules
automatic DNS resolution and IP updates in the background
optional wildcard support (e.g., *.example.com)
This enhancement would greatly improve real-world usability, especially in environments with IoT devices and cloud services.
Thank you for considering this request.
Best regards,
Alex
