The NBG-417N checks the URL's domain name (or IP address) and file path separately when
performing keyword blocking.
The URL's domain name or IP address is the characters that come before the first slash in the URL.

www.zyxel.com.tw.
The file path is the characters that come after the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL
www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the file path is news/pressroom.php.
