Configuring Web URL Filtering

If you want to allow or block internal LAN users from access to certain sites on the Internet, use
the UTM's Web URL filtering. You can create or import a whitelist that contains domain names
and URLs that are accepted and a blacklist with domain names and URLs that are blocked. The
whitelist takes precedence over the blacklist. Both the whitelist and the blacklist take precedence
over keyword blocking.
Note: A URL that you enter on the whitelist or blacklist might contain other embedded
URLs such as URLs for advertisements or sponsors, causing unexpected behavior.
If you want to allow a URL by placing it on the whitelist, make sure that all
embedded URLs are also placed on the whitelist. Similarly, if you want to block a
URL by placing it on the blacklist, make sure that all embedded URLs are also
placed on the blacklist.

To submit an uncategorized URL to NETGEAR for analysis, select the category in
which you think that the URL must be categorized from the pull-down menu. Then
enter the Submit button.
