URL Filter
URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.innoband.com or
http://www.covad.com ) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular
websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your
requirements.
Enable/Disable: To enable or disable URL Filter feature.
Block Mode: A list of the modes that you can choose to check the URL filter rules. The default is set to
Always On.
Disabled: Block Mode is disabled.
Always On: Block Mode is enabled. URL filter rules are in effect.
TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: It is self-defined time period. You may specify the time period to enable
the URL filter rules. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.
Keywords Filtering: Allows blocking by 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.
Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL against your list of domains to block or allow. If
the requested URL matches an entry in the list, the URL request will be sent (Trusted) or dropped
(Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both boxes must be checked. Here is the checking
procedure:
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.
