Setting Up Web Blocking
Enter an appropriate website address and the BD1000 will block and disallow LAN/PPTP/Site-to-Site VPN
peer clients to access these websites.
You may enter the wild card ".*" at the end of a domain name to block any web site with a host name having
the domain name in the middle. For example, If you enter "foobar.*," then "www.foobar.com,"
"www.foobar.co.jp," or "foobar.co.uk" will be blocked. Placing the wild card in any other position is not sup-
ported.
The BD1000 will inspect and look for blocked domain names on all HTTP traffic. Secure web (HTTPS) traf-
fic is not supported.
