Abstract

A method for adding a blacklisted site to a whitelist. At least one whitelisting query may be generated for an encoded domain in the tag format: a nonce, a hash, a blocked-domain, and a static domain, each separated by a delimiter. The nonce is a unique identifier for the at least one query. The hash is a cryptographic hash of an IP address of the user, a normalized timestamp, and the blocked domain. The static domain is a constant domain representing the at least one query. The at least one query may be sent to a first recursive DNS server. The first recursive DNS server may create a message including whitelist information. The first recursive DNS server may send the message to a second recursive DNS server.
