Domains Filtering: This function checks the domain name only, not the IP address, in URLs
accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will
be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both check-boxes
must be checked . The checking procedure is:
1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the
connection attempt is sent to the remote web server.
2. If not, check if it is listed in the forbidden list, and if present then the connection attempt
is dropped.
3. If the packet does not match either of the above two items, it is sent to the remote web
server.
4. Please be note that the domain only should be specified, not the full URL. For example
to block traffic to www.sex.com , enter “sex” or “sex.com” instead of “www.sex.com”. 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.sex or
www.sex.com will be dropped, because sex.com is in the forbidden list.
