5.1.5 URL Blocking
"URL Blocking" function can let you define blocking or allowing rules for incoming and outgoing
Web request packets. With defined rules, gateway can control
complete URL, partial domain name or pre‐defined keywords. For example, one can filter out or allow
only the Web requests based on domain input suffixes like .com or .org or keywords like "bct" or "mpe".
An URL blocking rule should indicate the URL, partial domain name or included keywords in the
Web requests from and to the gateway and what destination service port. In addition, the integrated
time schedule can be applied to activate rules based on date and time.
Gateway logs and displays illegal web accessing, in the web‐based utility, that matches rules in the
defined URL blocking rule entry in the black‐list or in the exclusion of the white‐list.
In "URL Blocking" page, there are three configuration windows. They are the "Configuration"
window, "URL Blocking Rule List" window, and "URL Blocking Rule Configuration" window.
The "Configuration" window can let you activate the URL blocking function and specify to black
listing or to white listing the packets defined in the "URL Blocking Rule List" entry. In addition, log
alerting can be enabled through an "Enable" checkbox to log on‐going events. Refer to "System
Status" in "6.1.1 System Related" section in this user manual on where and how to view log.
Another "Enable" checkbox for Invalid Access Web Redirection allow you to enable warning
message to be displayed on your browser during an illegal web accessing. Second, the "URL
Blocking Rule List" window lists all your defined URL blocking rule entry. At last, the "URL Blocking
Rule Configuration" window can let you define one URL blocking rule.
