Section 1: Block URL
The Block URL feature allows you to restrict access to to defined Web sites. You can
block by URL, IP address, or Keyword. You can also have different blocking settings for
different groups of PCs.
How it works
Every URL is searched to see if it matches or contains any of the URL or keywords
entered here. After a DNS lookup determines the IP address of the requested site, the
site’s IP address is checked against IP address entries on the Block URL console.
A single IP address may host many Web sites. Entering the IP address on this screen will
block all Web sites hosted on that IP address.
