_This article describes how to block/allow domains on Android. For iOS check [this](https://community.blokada.org/t/how-to-manually-block-or-allow-additional-domains/408/) article._

The easiest way to do add domains to Ad blocking / Blocked Hosts or Allowed Host is to search the Host log (which is a submenu of Ad blocking) for the domain you want to add. Tap on it and either tap ‘block’ or ‘allow’.

If you want to manually enter a domain in one of those menus be sure to follow this format:  
`example.com`  
You can also add the same domain with a ‘www.’ in the beginning. In prior versions this helped blocking the domain. Use this format:  
`www.example.com`  
You can also enter domains with a subdomain. Be sure to follow this format:  
`adserver1.example.com`  
`www.adserver2.example.com`

Do NOT include the protocol (e.g. `http://` or `https://`) or the the rest of a link (e.g. `/download/v42`). Remember Blokada blocks whole (sub)domains.

If you face problems blocking or allowing a domain be sure to check out [this](https://community.blokada.org/t/how-to-manually-block-domains-in-blokada/96) guide as well.
