Section 6 - Securing Your Network
Web Content Filter
Path: Security > Web Content Filter > Static Filtering
Content filtering must be enabled to configure and use the subsequent features (list of Trusted Domains,
filtering on Blocked Keywords, etc.). Proxy servers, which can be used to circumvent certain firewall rules and
thus a potential security gap, can be blocked for all LAN devices. Java applets can be prevented from being
downloaded from internet sites, and similarly the gateway can prevent ActiveX controls from being downloaded
via Internet Explorer. For added security cookies, which typically contain session information, can be blocked as
well for all devices on the private network.
To configure:
1. Go to

2. Toggle which service you want to filter to

Static Filtering
The controller offers some standard web filtering options to allow you to easily create internet access policies
between the secure LAN and insecure WAN. Instead of creating policies based on the type of traffic (as is the case
when using firewall rules), web-based content itself can be used to determine if traffic is allowed or dropped.
