Parental Control; Chapter 17 Parental Control; Overview; What You Need To Know - ZyXEL Communications EMG2926-Q10A User Manual

17.1 Overview

Parental controls allow you to block specific URLs. You can also define time periods and days during
which the EMG2926-Q10A performs parental control on a specific user.

17.1.1 What You Need To Know

The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Keyword Blocking URL Checking
The EMG2926-Q10A 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.
For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the domain name is
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.
Since the EMG2926-Q10A checks the URL's domain name (or IP address) and file path separately, it
will not find items that go across the two. For example, with the URL
pressroom.php, the EMG2926-Q10A would find "tw" in the domain name (www.zyxel.com.tw). It
would also find "news" in the file path (news/pressroom.php) but it would not find "tw/news".
