Configuration files
There are several configuration files you can modify or create in /nxfilter/conf directory.
Config values set by files are not share across clustering nodes. It's only for the current server.
You have to restart your server to load new config values.

log4j.properties
We use Log4j for system logging. You can set log level in the file. For debugging, change INFO to DEBUG in the file.

appname

Access control files
You can have dns-allow-ip.txt and dns-block-ip.txt files and allowed IPs and blocked IPs in the files.
For more details, read Access control by IP blocks
Language files
NxFilter supports multiple languages. We place the language files in the /nxfilter/lang directory.
Within this directory, there are subdirectories for each language based on the 2-character country codes.
Each country code directory contains three files:
| 1. dict.txt | : GUI translation | |
| 2. categories.txt | : Jahaslist categories | |
| 3. cloudlist.map | : Cloudlist categories |
To add a new language, create a new directory inside /nxfilter/lang using the 2-character country code for the language. Then, copy the following files into the new directory and translate them into the desired language:
- /nxfilter/lang/dic.txt
- /nxfilter/jahaslist/categories.txt
- /nxfilter/conf/cloudlist.map
