Whitelist Firewall

Is there a possibility to use the iode blocker as Whitelist firewall?
Im tired of blocking every host i dont want individually.
At least a regex function would be great.

maybe somedays in the future, but not now

I had already been interested in that, too. I very much hope that this is still to come. To be able to make a strict whitelist principle, it would be good if you could also select each system app individually and there would be a “notify on internet access” option. See also the following two posts:

How can I block all connections for a specific app and allow (whitelist) only certain connections/domains?

Is that possible with REGEX?
I tried to blacklist * or *.* for a specific app, however the app still accesses everything as before.

I want to achieve that apps and their build-in trackers are prevented from sending information from the very first start.
With the blacklist approach of the iodé blocker I can only block a connection once it has been initiated for the first time. And after that I need to check again and again in case the app has initiated a new connection in the meantime, all the while leaking information somewhere.
That’s not very privacy focused.

The solution is to use “Rule with wildcard” to block all connections with *. Then it is possible to whitelist only specific domains.
I had mistakenly used “Regular expression”.
