FQDN can be used in Security Policy, Policy Route, BWM and Web Authentication profiles as source and
destination criteria. FQDN with a wildcard (for example, *.zyxel.com) can be used in these profiles as
destination criteria only.
Suppose you want to block certain users from going to a website with a dynamically updated IP address
using DDNS. Create an FQDN object for the website in
Object > Address
, and then create a Security
Policy in
Security Policy > Policy Control > Add
. Use the FQDN object to identify the website as a
destination, and configure specific users to block. When a user tries to connect to the forbidden
website, the Zyxel Device first checks the IP address - website mapping in response to the DNS query
and then finds the FQDN object match. The Security Policy that has this FQDN object match can then
block the configured users from accessing the website.
