Url Blocking - LevelOne WBR-6003 User Manual

URL Blocking

URL Blocking will block LAN computers from connecting to a pre-defined Web Site. The major
difference between Domain Filter and URL Blocking is that Domain Filter requires the user to input
suffixes (eg: xxx.com, ttt.net) while URL Blocking only requires user to input a keyword.
In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of
websites by simply a keyword.
To enable URL Blocking, make sure to tick Enable.
You can set your URL Blocking by schedule.
To enable Schedule Rule, make sure to tick Enable.
To set an URL Blocking rule, you will require:
 URL: If any part of the Website's URL matches the predefined word, the connection will be
blocked.
 Enable: Tick to enable the rule.
In this example:
1. URL include "msn" will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file.
2. URL include "sina" will be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file
3. URL include "cnnsi" will not be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file.
4. URL include "espn" will be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file
