the list here. Click the

on this screen. Once the name is listed, you can edit it and delete it.
Access Rules
The
Access Rules
function enables you to define custom rules for the URL lists. With these custom
rules, networks/hosts can be allowed or denied access to certain URLs.
An access rule consists of three parts:
1.
Network or Host
2.
URL List
3.
Allow or Deny Access
Example
List Name: URL List named
list1
contains the URL www.google.com
Networks: There are two networks
net1
and
net2
defined.
Rules: Two rules have been configured:
net1 – list1 – allow
and
net2 – list1 – deny
What Does This Mean:
•
Users from
net1
trying to access google.com will be allowed to access the site.
•
Users from
net2
trying to access google.com will not be allowed to access the site.
•
Users from any other network will be allowed/denied access based on default action.
