Follow these instructions to configure automatic blocklist updates for GuardMode in your DPX Master Server.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
Access to your DPX instance via SSH.
Root user privileges.

Tip. If you encounter any issues while editing the dpx.yml
file, ensure that the syntax is correct and that all environment variables are properly indented.
Save the changes to the

file and exit the text editor.Restart the DPX services to apply the new configuration.
Attention! Restarting the DPX services will temporarily disrupt any ongoing operations. Plan this change during a maintenance window to avoid impacting users.
Once the services are running again (this may take a few minutes), check the Events section in the DPX UI to verify that the blocklist has been downloaded.
