5.4.3 URL Blocking
URL Blocking will block the local computers from accessing pre-defined web sites.
The main difference between Domain filter and URL Blocking is that Domain filter
requires you to input a suffix like .com or .org, etc., while URL Blocking only requires
you to input a keyword. In other words, Domain filter can block a specific web site, while
URL Blocking can block hundreds of web sites that contain the specified keyword.
URL Blocking:
Check the
Enable
box to activate the URL Blocking function.
URL:
Enter a keyword in this field. If any part of the web site's URL matches the
keyword, the connection will be blocked. For example, you can specify the keyword
"something" to block access to all the web sites that have the word “something” in their
URLs.
Enable (check box):
Check the box to enable each filter.
