entire phrase.

Allow or block access to specific URLs by adding them to the URL filter list. Add
patterns using text and regular expressions (or wildcard characters) to allow or
block URLs. The FortiGate unit allows or blocks web pages matching any
specified URLs or patterns and displays a replacement message instead.
Note: Enable Web filtering > Web URL Filter in a firewall Protection Profile to activate the
URL filter settings.
Note: URL blocking does not block access to other services that users can access with a
web browser. For example, URL blocking does not block access to
ftp://ftp.example.com. Instead, use firewall policies to deny FTP connections.
You can add multiple URL filter lists and then select the best URL filter list for each
protection profile.
