DNS Spoofing is considered…bad. But that’s only because people do not use it for good.
I am trying to block a directory of a website by spoofing it on my local DNS server. However, I do not want it to redirect. Here is an example of what I have done so far. The website shall remain unnamed for privacy.
http {
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://example.com/;
proxy_set_header host $http_host;
resolver 8.8.8.8;
}
location = /blocked/blocked.json
root /dns/;
autoindex on;
}
}
The directory of the website that I want to block (examp;e.com/iwantthisblocked) passes through the DNS and pulls up what it would without a DNS at all, however, the main directory of the website (example.com) throws a 500 internal server error.
This is running on an Ubuntu server with DNSMasq (DNS is set up properly).
