Web Access protection
Web access protection monitors communication between web browsers and remote servers for compliance with HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) rules.
You can achieve web filtering by defining the port numbers for HTTP communication and URL addresses.
Web Protocols
Enable or disable HTTP protocol checking and define the port numbers used for HTTP communication. The port numbers 80, 8080, and 3128 are predefined.
Enable or disable HTTPS protocol checking and define the port numbers used for HTTPS communication. The port number 443 is predefined.
Enable or disable HTTP/3 traffic scanning and define the port numbers used for HTTPS communication. The port number 443 is predefined.

There is a limit of 1000 ports per range, and a limit of 2000 ports defined in total across all port fields. |
URL Address Management
This section enables you to specify HTTP addresses to block, allow, or exclude from checking. Websites in the list of blocked addresses are not accessible. Websites in the list of excluded addresses are accessed without being scanned for malicious code.
To activate a list of allowed, blocked or excluded addresses, select one, and enable the List active option. If you want to be notified when entering an address from the current list, enable the Notify when applying option.
In any list, you can use the special symbols * (asterisk) and ? (question mark). The asterisk substitutes any string of characters, and the question mark substitutes any symbol. Take particular care when specifying excluded addresses, because the list should only contain trusted and safe addresses. Similarly, you should ensure that the symbols * and ? are used correctly in this list.
ThreatSense Parameters
These are detailed settings for the scanning engine you only change if you are an experienced user. For best protection and performance, leave the default values unchanged.
