AG 5500
20 Introduction
URL Filtering
The NSE can restrict access to specified Web sites based on URLs defined by the system
administrator. URL filtering will block access to a list of sites and/or domains entered by the
administrator using the following three methods:
z
Host IP address (for example, 1.2.3.4).
z
Host DNS name (for example, www.yahoo.com).
z
DNS domain name (for example, *.yahoo.com, meaning all sites under the
yahoo.com hierarchy, such as finance.yahoo.com, sports.yahoo.com, etc.).
The system administrator can dynamically add or remove up to 300 specific IP addresses and
domain names to be filtered for each property.
Walled Garden
The NSE provides up to 300 IP passthrough addresses (and/or DNS entries), allowing you to
create a “Walled Garden” within the Internet where unauthenticated users can be granted or
denied access to sites of your choosing.
Web Management Interface
Nomadix’ Access Gateways can be managed remotely via the built-in Web Management
Interface where various levels of administration can be established. See also,

Management Interface (WMI) .
