Create new URL address list

This section allows you to specify lists of URL addresses/masks that will be blocked, allowed or excluded from checking.

When creating a new list, the following options are available to configure:

Address list type – Three predefined list types are available:

•Excluded from checking – No checking for malicious code will be performed for any address added to this list.

•Blocked - The user will not be allowed to access addresses specified in this list.

•Allowed – If your policy is configured to use this feature and the wildcard (*) value is added to this list, you will be allowed to access addresses in this list even if those addresses are also present in the blocked list.

List name – Specify the name of the list. This field will be unavailable if you are editing one of the three predefined lists.

List description – Type a short description for the list (optional).This field will be unavailable if you are editing one of the three predefined lists.

List active – select the slider bar to activate the list.

Notify when applying – select the slider bar if you want to be notified when this list is used to evaluate an HTTP site that you visited. For example, a notification will be issued when a website is either blocked or allowed because the website is included in the list of blocked or allowed addresses. The notification will display the list name for the list that specifies the website.

Logging severity – Select the Logging severity from the drop-down menu. Records with Warning verbosity can be collected by ESMC or ESET PROTECT.

Edit – Modifies existing address in the list. Only possible for addresses created with Add.

Delete – Deletes existing addresses in the list. Only possible for addresses created with Add.
