Is it possible to block a top level domain? If so, how?

Login to Admin Tools, click on Exceptions and then you can add any website you want to always Allow or Block.

Thanks Maata,

I'm actually looking for something more general. I'd like to be able to block *all* of a top-level domain. That is, all of the ".ro" or ".cn" addresses for example. I've tried using the simple Exceptions functionality and it appears to not accept ".ro" or the like. It's looking for a particular domain (which doesn't achieve what I'd like to achieve).

I also tried using the Keywords functionality to do the same and didn't have any success there, either.

Is there another way?

Yes you can place a * at the beginning and end of the domain which serves as a wild card. I.E: *.ro*

Ok, finally got it to work, although with a bit of a nuance. Using *.ro/* with both the '.' and a '/' appears to catch the domains without picking up a lot of extra stuff.
