About the DNS Sinkhole Page

A DNS Sinkhole enables you to reject or resolve DNS requests for disallowed domains. It can be used to prevent access to malicious URLs at an enterprise level. It can also be used to restrict access to specific sites that violate corporate policies, including social networking, abusive content and so on. For more information, see Juniper Advanced Threat Prevention Cloud Administration Guide.

To access the DNS Sinkhole page, click Configure> Firewall Policy> DNS Sinkhole.
