All URLs in this list are excluded from Web Protection scans.
Input box
In this box you can input URLs (Internet addresses) to be excluded from Web
Protection scans, e.g.
www.domainname.com
. You can specify parts of the URL,
using leading or following dots to indicate the domain level:
.domainname.com
for all
pages and all subdomains of the domain. Indicate websites with any top-level domain
(
.com
or
.net
) with a following dot:
domainname..
If you indicate a string without a
leading or concluding dot, the string is interpreted as a top-level domain, e.g.
net
for
all NET domains (
www.domain.net
).
Note
You can also use the wildcard
*
for any number of characters when specifying
URLs. You can also use leading or following dots in combination with wildcards
to indicate the domain level:
.domainname.*
*.domainname.com
.*name*.com
(valid but not recommended)
Specifications without dots, like *
name
*, are interpreted as part of a top-level
domain and are not advisable.
Warning
All websites on the list of excluded URLs are downloaded into the Internet
browser without further scanning by the web filter or by Web Protection: For all
entries in the list of excluded URLs, the entries in the web filter (see
Web
Protection > Scan > Blocked requests
) are ignored. No scan for viruses and
malware is performed. Only trusted URLs should therefore be excluded from
Web Protection scans.
Add
The button allows you to copy the URL entered in the input field (Internet address) to
the viewer window.
Delete
The button deletes a selected entry from the list. This button is inactive if no entry is
selected.
