How to Use URL Filtering

To use URL filtering, you can either use:

a blacklist provided by Kaspersky

custom lists (black/white)

a combination of custom and Kaspersky lists.
Creating custom lists
A custom list is an ASCII formatted text file containing zero or more single-line pattern matches.
For example, the content of a text file named blacklist-example.txt, consisting of three patterns to
match, (listed line-by-line) could look like this:
example.net/viruses/*
*/viruses/*
bad_url.com
URL pattern matches listed within the text file may take two forms:

either a base domain, which will match all content of that domain, and all content of sub-domains:
example.com

or a wild-card match, where an asterisk will match zero or more characters in a URL:
example.net/viruses/*
*/viruses/*
Once this list is available to the system (stored in Flash, USB, or on an SD card), the configuration to
enable URL filtering is straight forward, as described below in the section
