Web control for Android
Use ESET Endpoint Security for Android to regulate website access on your managed Android devices. Web control can regulate access to websites that may violate intellectual property rights and protect your company from the risk of legal liability. The goal is to prevent employees from accessing pages with inappropriate or harmful content and pages that may negatively impact productivity.

Policy restrictions on devices enrolled via Microsoft Intune or VMware Workspace ONE When you enroll a device via Microsoft Intune or VMware Workspace ONE, ESET Endpoint Security for Android ignores the following policy settings: •Devices running Android 9 and later: Device security, Application control, Anti-Theft •Devices with the work profile: Anti-Phishing, Web control |
By default, Web control is disabled. To activate it, you will need to create a new policy:
1.Click Policies > New Policy.
2.In the New Policy window, navigate to Settings and select ESET Endpoint Security for Android.
3.In the Web Protection section of the policy, expand Web Control and enable the Web Control toggle.
4.Whitelist and blacklist specific links or categories. 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
