Easily link your existing DNS cache to Artica’s RPZ (Response Policy Zone) Service, enabling a powerful, real-time way to filter and manage domain resolution.
With the Artica RPZ categories databases, you can block malicious addresses, enforce policy-driven domain restrictions, and dynamically rewrite DNS queries—all before client connections occur.
This seamless integration ensures a more secure, policy-compliant environment while leveraging the speed and scalability of your current DNS cache solution.
- On the left menu, go to
DNS Cache service > Policies Zones - On the top button, click on “RPZ service” button
- Turn on the “Enabled" checkbox
- Give the address and port of your Artica server act as RPZ service
If you specify a hostname in the address , you cannot use the domain from the zonefile, because it may not have that when retrieving that data, instead use a plain IP address to avoid a circular dependency on retrieving that IP address. - If the RPZ service use SSL, turn ON the Use SSL option.
- After few seconds, under the Policies Zones list, you should see all your categories enabled in your RPZ service
