URL Filtering

URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or
http://www.example.com) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing
particular websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to
meet your requirements.
Note:
1) URL Filter rules apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 sources.
2) But in Exception IP Address part, user can click to set the exception IP address(es) for IPv4 and IPv6
respectively.
Keywords Filtering: Allow blocking against specific keywords within a particular URL rather than
having to specify a complete URL (e.g.to block any image called "advertisement.gif"). When enabled,
your specified keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to
determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web
browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.
