4.6.1. Options

The Web Content Filtering (WCF) options allow control over the types of web surfing allowed by
clients on the LAN or DMZ. When web browsers try to access a URL on the public Internet
through the WAN interface, NetDefendOS checks the URL against a D-Link URL database to find
out what category it is. For instance, a URL for web site like CNN might belong to the News
category.
The administrator can set up policies to determine what categories are permitted or denied for web
surfing. A company's internal surfing policy might be, for example, to only allow access to news
and e-banking sites but not to any other type of site.
The sections of the WCF page in the web interface are:
A. Subscription
B. Web Content Filter
C. Categories
D. Options
E. URL Filters
A. Subscription
WCF is a subscription based service and a one year subscription can be purchased as a license
add-on from your D-Link agent. The buy license link here will open a D-Link window in your
browser so that you can find your local agent. Alternatively you can click the link here:
