For example, if the URL is
http://www.abc.com/abcde.html
, the connection will be dropped if
the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL.
Domains Filtering:
This function checks the whole URL address but not the IP address against
your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will either be sent (Trusted)
or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both enable and disable checkboxes of
Domain Filtering must be checked. Here is the checking procedure:
1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt
is sent to the remote web server.
2. If not, check if it is listed in the forbidden list. If yes, then the connection attempt will be
dropped.
3. If the packet does not match either of the above two conditions, it is sent to the remote web
server.
4. Please be noted that the completed URL, “www” + domain name should be specific. e.g.: In
order to block traffic to
www.google.com.au
, enter “
www.google
” or “
www.google.com
”
In the example below, the URL request for
www.abc.com
will be sent to the remote web server
because it is listed in the trusted list, whilst the URL request for
www.google
or
www.google.com
will be dropped, because
www.google
is in the forbidden list.
