Creating and Using Internet Blocking Rules
If you don’t want to block your students’ access to the entire Internet, you can still block
your students’ access to specific web pages using Internet blocking rules. Each Internet
blocking rule consists of either:
l
A list of restricted web pages (which blocks students from opening any web page
on the list), or
l
A list of approved web pages (which blocks students from opening any web page
that’s not on the list).

SMART Sync comes with a default Internet blocking rule that allows you to block
all web pages.
