You can choose Western, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, or
Korean.
Your computer and web browser must be configured to enter characters in the
character set that you choose.
4 Type a banned word or phrase.
If you type a single word (for example, banned), the FortiGate unit blocks all web
pages that contain that word.
If you type a phrase (for example, banned phrase), the FortiGate unit blocks web
pages that contain both words. When this phrase appears on the banned word list, the
FortiGate unit inserts plus signs (+) in place of spaces (for example,
banned+phrase).
If you type a phrase in quotes (for example, "banned word"), the FortiGate unit
blocks all web pages in which the words are found together as a phrase.
Content filtering is not case-sensitive. You cannot include special characters in
banned words.
