Configuration

You can configure the option or turn it off by configuration file /etc/dpi/fastdpi.conf. All parameters are optional and have default values.

federal_black_list=2 enables automatic loading and application of cloud service list 
(0 - disables)

The lists received from clouds are placed to the directory /var/lib/dpi. Their names are:

blcache.bin - URL dictionary to block HTTP
blcachecn.bin - names' dictionary to block HTTPS by certificates
blcacheip.bin - IP addresses dictionary to block HTTPS by IP
blcachesni.bin - dictionary to block HTTPS by SNI

Page setup for redirect:

black_list_redirect=http://operator.com/blockpage.html

The black list update period can be configured. It is 60 minutes by default:

timeout_check_new_bl=60

The service has to load modified parameters after configuration changes. One can do it by the following instructions ³⁾:

To update modified "hot" parameters:

service fastdpi reload

To update all parameters by the service's restart:

service fastdpi restart

The short break (less than 1 second) in service is caused by restart, if the Bypass is not supported.

The operator can attach his own black list.

#URL dictionary for blocking by HTTP protocol 
custom_url_black_list=http://operator.com/url_list.dic

#Names dictionary for blocking HTTPS by certificate
custom_cn_black_list=http://operator.com/cn_list.dic

#IP addresses dictionary for blocking HTTPS by IP 
custom_ip_black_list=http://operator.com/ip_list.dic

#Hosts names dictionary for blocking HTTPS by SNI (Server Name Indication)
custom_sni_black_list=http://operator.com/sni_list.dic

URL field can be used to specify ftp protocol and authentication parameters.

The lists downloaded from the specified URL are stored in /var/lib/dpi. Their names are:

blcustom.bin - the URL dictionary to block HTTP
blcustomcn.bin - the name's dictionary to block HTTPS by certificate
blcustomip.bin - the IP addresses' dictionary to block HTTPS by IP
blcustomsni.bin - the IP addresses' dictionary to block HTTPS by SNI

'#' character at the beginning of a configuration file line marks the comment.

In case the service is used to filter by black list only, we advise to switch off the analysis of protocols rather than HTTP. It helps increase productivity and reduces CPU load:

only_tcp=1

If the black lists are created on the same computer that runs DPI: you can just put them to /var/lib/dpi directory. Their names must be blcustom.bin, blcustomsni.bin, blcustomcn.bin and blcustomip.bin, same as above.

To switch off additional (operator's) black lists:

Comment out or remove the parameters from configuration file /etc/dpi/fastdpi.conf:

custom_url_black_list, custom_ip_black_list, custom_cname_black_list, custom_sni_black_list

To remove local lists:

rm /var/lib/dpi/blcustom.bin  
rm /var/lib/dpi/blcustomcn.bin
rm /var/lib/dpi/blcustomip.bin
rm /var/lib/dpi/blcustomsni.bin

Here's the translation of the blocking settings:

Add the parameter block_options to the configuration file /etc/dpi/fastdpi.conf.

Values:

• 1 — block regardless of the presence of SNI
• 2 — block all ports on the address
• 4 — block all of IPv6 (when the service 4 is enabled)
• 8 — do not generate RST packets for blocking and redirection for `inet–>subs` packet direction
