Custom Category for Rules

Is there a way to make my own category for blocking that contains multiple domains? For example, list all of the domains required to block YouTube so I can have a YouTube only category to block, but still allow other video services? Currently it seems as though I have to make one rule per domain. And then those only apply to one device at a time. Blocking YouTube for two or three devices would require 20+ rules! Surely there is a better way to do this?

  ...bump...

   

  Another way to word it would be custom domain lists, not just single domains per rule.

  Is this posisble?

  This is a good candidate for the web interface, but ... since not many people are asking for these, it is really lower priority.  Unless people interest enough to help pay to the development of this feature some how ...

  How can we lobby/contribute to features that we think are necessary?  Do you allow any outside contributors?

  One of the proposed ideas in our team is to start charging for features that are only very useful to a few, this is probably the most logical way.  This may be a feature bundle, or a la cart

  That would be awesome, may you guys could add those features as "addons" where people could do "in app purchase", but if it hurts your back-end by increase the bandwidth or other related cost to maintain the firewalla services, that would be another case to deal likely year fees or something like that!

  I voted up this request.  Definitely adding custom target categories is something I would use.   The provided target categories are great and the main ones we need.   But there are at least a few others I would like to add like Audio updates.

  I agree! It should also support the same quick toggle as built in categories to quickly enable/disable them,  instead of having to dig into the rules menu!

  BTW: Unless the price is very friendly for a complete set of features, I would be careful with in-app purcheses on a per-feature basis. I think many people don't really like that pricing model. :)
