they appear in the website name (URL) or in a newsgroup name, will cause that site or
newsgroup to be blocked by the VPN firewall.
You can apply the keywords to one or more groups. Requests from the PCs in the groups for
which keyword blocking has been enabled will be blocked. Blocking does not occur for the
PCs that are in the groups for which keyword blocking has not been enabled.
You can bypass Keyword blocking for trusted domains by adding the exact matching domain
to the Trusted Domains table. Access to the domains or keywords in the Trusted Domains
table by PCs, even those in the groups for which keyword blocking has been enabled, will still
be allowed without any blocking.
Keyword application examples:
• If the keyword "XXX" is specified, the URL <http://www.badstuff.com/xxx.html> is blocked,

• If the keyword ".com" is specified, only websites with other domain suffixes (such as .edu or
.gov) can be viewed.
• To block all Internet browsing access, enter the keyword ".".
