Web Control rules
Use the Web Control policy to specify a list of URLs for three different categories:
•Blacklist - Block the URL with no option or access
•Whitelist - Allow access to the URL
•Warning - Warns the user about the URL but gives an option to access
Each of these sections can be managed by the following actions:
•Add - Add a new record with a specific URL address
•Edit - Edit an existing URL address
•Remove - Remove an existing report of a URL address
•Import - Import a list of new URL addresses to the category
•Export - Export a list of URL addresses from the selected category
|
For rules that control access to a given website, type the full URL in the URL field. Special symbols * (asterisk) and ? (question mark) can be used in the URL field. When adding a domain address, all content located on this domain and all subdomains (for example subdomain.domain.com) will be blocked or allowed based on the chosen action. |
Another option is to Allow/Block a whole set of URLs based on their category under Category rules.
In the Category rules window, select an action for a specific category of URLs and specify which sub-category should be affected:
•Allow - Allow access to the URL from a selected category
•Block - Block access to the URL from a selected category
•Warn - Warn the user about the URL from a selected category
