WebBlocker Content
WatchGuard WebBlocker, together with the HTTP proxy and the HTTPS proxy, supplies web site
filtering for the content of the web pages your users open in their browsers. WebBlocker uses a URL
database created and controlled by SurfControl.

Searching for Blocked Sites

To see whether WebBlocker is blocking a web site as part of a category block, go to WatchGuard
Test-a-Site on the SurfControl web site.
1 Open a web browser and go to:
http://mtas.surfcontrol.com/mtas/WatchGuardTest-a-Site.asp
2 Type the URL or IP address of the site to check.
3 Click Test Site.
The search engine tells you whether the site is on the SurfControl list. You can also request that
the URL be added to the SurfControl list.
