URL Filter
URL (Uniform Resource Locator) (e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http://
www.example.com) filter rule allows you to prevent users on your network from accessing specific
websites defined by their URL. There are no predefined URL filter rules, therefore you can add filter
rules to meet your requirements.
Enable/Disable:

Block Mode:
A list of the modes that you can choose from to check the URL filter rules. The default
is set to
Always On.
Disabled:
No action will be performed by the Block Mode.
Always On:
Action is enabled. URL filter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours of
the day.
TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16:
It is a self defined time period. You may specify the time period
to check the URL filter rules, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to
Time
Schedule
section.
Keywords Filtering:
Allow blocking against specific keywords within a particular URL rather than
having to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled,
your specified keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed
to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web
browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.
