– Firewall – URL Blocking
A URL is a web address that is normally typed into a web browser. For instance www.yahoo.com,
www.msn.com are all URLs. URL Blocking allows you to block URLs based upon keywords that you enter
into a box. Blocking URLs prevents people on your network from accessing these websites. These keywords
may be full URL's or they may just be words.

the Internet. It provides enough information so that it can be converted into a physical IP address. The FQDN
consists of host name and domain name. For example,

is the FQDN on the Web for the
publisher of this database. The
WWW

order to maintain uniformity.
