Artica’s RPZ server includes an HTTP interface that allows external DNS resolvers or automated scripts to retrieve up-to-date RPZ (Response Policy Zone) databases.
By providing these zone files via standard HTTP, Artica streamlines the integration of custom or third-party feeds, ensuring that your DNS infrastructure always has the latest policies for blocking, redirecting, or filtering domains at the DNS level.
The index file http(s)://1.2.3.4:9905/index provide a json that lists all rpz categories.
Here an example:
{ "Records": [ { "id": 250, "filename": "250.gz", "md5": "e9d3a9d7fd35eb1a82ebfc68904b0212", "time": 1740836957, "url": "/database/rpz/250", "urlcompress": "/database/gz/250", "categoryname": "uts_porn" }, { "id": 251, "filename": "251.gz", "md5": "d0c53e8512c16e69aa7edfac3d4a73f2", "time": 1740843299, "url": "/database/rpz/251", "urlcompress": "/database/gz/251", "categoryname": "urlhaus" }, { "id": 252, "filename": "252.gz", "md5": "a0f93d8f09e1cd84360ec29fff7a244f", "time": 1740843331, "url": "/database/rpz/252", "urlcompress": "/database/gz/252", "categoryname": "anudeepND" } ], "md5cache": "df74ea47143c61a70f1706b0e536104e"}
url key specifies the link to the rpz data and the urlcompress key specifies the link to the compressed data.In this case, to download the rpz category 251, do a get of http(s)://1.2.3.4:9905/database/rpz/251 or compressed http(s)://1.2.3.4:9905/database/gz/251
