URL Blocking

URL or Uniform Resource Locator is a specially formatted text string that uniquely defines an Internet website.
This window will allow users to block computers on the LAN from accessing certain URLs. This may be
accomplished by simply entering the URL to be blocked in the URL Address field. The user may also use this
field to block certain websites by entering a keyword into the URL Address field. So, if any website's URL
contains this word, it will automatically be denied access to users on the LAN.
For example, if you wish to block users from accessing shopping websites, enter the keyword "shopping into the
URL Address field. Then website having "shopping" in their URL (such as
http://www.yahoo.com/shopping/stores.html or http://www.msn/search/shopping-spree.html) will be denied
from computers on the LAN. This feature may be beneficial to parents wanting to stop their kids from accessing
certain websites or for companies who want their employees to stop surfing the Internet on company time.
To configure this screen for URL blocking, enter the website's address or a keyword into the URL field and click
Add button, then click Apply to save this configuration into the Routers memory. Configured URL blocking
entries will be displayed in the Blocked URLs List at the bottom of the screen. To remove a Blocked URL entry
in the list, click on the entry and click the Delete button.

Domain Blocking

Domain blocking is a method of denying computers on the LAN access to specific domains on the Internet.
To configure this screen for URL blocking, enter the website's address into the Domain field and click Add
button, then click Apply to save this configuration into the Routers memory. Configured Domain blocking
entries will be displayed in the Blocked Domains List at the bottom of the screen. To remove a Blocked
Domain entry in the list, click on the entry and click the Delete button.
