URL masks

You can use masks, if the complete name of the remote server is unknown, or you want to specify a whole group of remote servers. The masks include the symbols "?" and "*":

•use ? to substitute a symbol

•use * to substitute a text string

For example *.?u applies to all addresses, where the last part ends with the letter u and contains an unknown symbol (.eu, .au, etc.).

For example *o? denotes any address with o as the last but one character.

To match the whole domain, type it in the form *.domain.com/*. Specifying protocol prefix http://, https:// in the mask is optional.

To define several URL masks at once, click Enter multiple values, and type the desired URL masks separated by a new line or another separator you selected.
