Adding Web control rules
The Web control rules window enables you to create or modify an existing Web control filtering rule manually.
Name
Type a description of the rule into the Name field for better identification.
Enabled
Click the Enabled switch to disable or enable the rule; this can be useful if you do not want to delete the rule permanently.
Log files
Enables or disables logging for the selected Web Control rule. When enabled, each time the rule is applied (for example, when access to a specified website or web category is allowed or blocked), an event is recorded in the ESET Small Business Security log according to the configured Logging severity level. When disabled, the rule is still enforced, but no log entry is generated for its execution.
Action
Choose between URL-based rules or Category-based rules:
