3 Type the URL/Pattern to block.
Type a top-level URL or IP address to block access to all pages on a website. For
example, www.badsite.com or 122.133.144.155 blocks access to all pages at
this website.
Type a top-level URL followed by the path and filename to block access to a single
page on a website. For example, www.badsite.com/news.html or
122.133.144.155/news.html blocks the news page on this website.
To block all pages with a URL that ends with badsite.com, add badsite.com to
the block list. For example, adding badsite.com blocks access to
www.badsite.com, mail.badsite.com, www.finance.badsite.com, and so
on.
Note: Do not include http:// in the URL to block. Do not use an asterisk (*) to
represent any characters. You can type a top-level domain suffix (for example, "com"
without the leading period) to block access to all URLs with this suffix.
Note: URL blocking does not block access to other services that users can access with a web
browser. For example, URL blocking does not block access to ftp://ftp.badsite.com.
Instead, you can use firewall policies to deny FTP connections.
