URL filtering:
First, the
access control (ACL) rules
are evaluated, which means a rule allowing
tunneling for a request will not be blocked by URL filters. Connections that are not
tunneled would still pass through the URL filter module, similar to the scanning
behavior.
Then, the
Avira URL Filtering library
(
LocalFilter
) applies. The library tries
to determine if an URL is dangerous based on a list of known URLs. A category is
returned for each dangerous URL: Malware (60), Phishing (61), Fraud (63). If this
category is found in the
BlockCategories
configuration option, the request is
denied. The Avira URL Filtering library is available with every valid WebGate or
WebGate Suite license.
If the Avira URL Filtering library does not find any match for the URL or the
category is not blocked in the configuration file, the
Avira Web Access and
Content Control library
(
OnlineFilter
) is used. It filters requests based on
URL categories. This feature is only available with the Avira AntiVir WebGate
Suite.
The categories can be specified as single categories or as category ranges. You can
specify ranges with a '-' between two category numbers. For a list of all categories
please consult the
MANUAL.avwebgate
file.
