genspark.aiBlocked

1 hostname in the Nullgen catalog

Every entry also covers its subdomains, so the Genspark app and API are blocked too.

What Genspark connects to

These are the hostnames Genspark uses for its website, its apps, and its API. Each entry is matched as a suffix — blocking genspark.ai also blocks every subdomain of it — so the Genspark app cannot slip through on a hostname that is not listed. Shared hosts that other products need are deliberately left out.

Block Genspark in the browser

Free: the Nullgen browser extension

The free extension blocks Genspark and every other tool in the catalog in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. It works on the page itself — no DNS change, no policy — and updates as the catalog grows.

Managed browsers: block the sites by policy

On a school or company fleet, push the hostnames as a browser policy so Genspark is blocked even when someone uninstalls extensions. These snippets use the official Chrome, Edge, and Firefox policy names and the same hosts listed above.

Chrome and Edge — URLBlocklist

{
    "URLBlocklist": [
        "genspark.ai"
    ]
}

Firefox — policies.json

{
    "policies": {
        "WebsiteFilter": {
            "Block": [
                "*://genspark.ai/*",
                "*://*.genspark.ai/*"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Chrome and Edge treat a bare hostname as the host plus every subdomain. Firefox needs both the apex and the wildcard pattern.

Without Nullgen: Screen Time on iPhone and iPad

1Open Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions and turn restrictions on. This covers Genspark in Safari and in apps that use Apple’s web filter.
2Under Web Content, choose Limit Adult Websites — the setting that lets you deny genspark.ai by name.
3Under Never Allow, add genspark.ai. Safari and apps that use Apple’s web filter will refuse it.
4To keep the Genspark app off the device entirely, delete it and set Installing Apps to Don’t Allow, or use Ask to Buy on a child’s Apple Account.

Without Nullgen: Family Link on Android

1Open Family Link, choose the child, then Controls → Content restrictions → Google Chrome — where Genspark can be blocked by site.
2Choose Only allow approved sites, or add genspark.ai under Blocked sites.
3Under Controls → App limits, block the Genspark app, or require approval for new installs from Google Play.

Block Genspark on your home or school network

A DNS blocker such as Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, NextDNS, or pfBlockerNG blocks Genspark for every device on the network — laptops, phones, consoles, and the Genspark app — without installing anything on them. Subscribe to the Genspark file from the public blocklist, or paste the rules directly.

DNS blocking cannot see inside a VPN or a phone on mobile data. For a block that follows the device, use the Nullgen apps or an MDM profile.

Block Genspark on managed devices

Schools and companies can block Genspark on every managed iPhone, iPad, laptop, and Chromebook from the MDM they already run — Intune, Jamf, Kandji, or Google Workspace — with per-person policies and an approval flow for legitimate use. Nullgen Pro provides the profiles and the dashboard; these guides walk through the setup.

Questions about blocking Genspark

Does the free Nullgen extension block Genspark?
Yes. The free extension blocks prompts on Genspark and every other AI tool in the catalog in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. It works on the page itself, so it needs no policy and no DNS change.
Will blocking Genspark break other websites?
No. Every hostname on this page belongs to Genspark alone. Shared websites that other products depend on are never on the list — which is also why AI features built into those products stay reachable.
Can someone get around a Genspark block?
A browser-only block can be bypassed with another browser or the Genspark app, and a network block can be bypassed with a VPN or a phone on mobile data. A block on the device itself — the Nullgen apps, Screen Time, or an MDM profile — follows the device wherever it goes.
Does this block the Genspark app, not just the website?
A DNS or device-level block does. The app talks to the same hostnames listed above, and every entry covers its subdomains, so the app cannot slip through on a hostname that is not listed. A browser policy or extension only covers the browser.
What happens when Genspark adds a new hostname?
The catalog is updated as vendors change, and the Nullgen apps, the extension, and the public blocklist all read from it, so a new hostname reaches every device without anyone editing a list by hand.
