Figure 164:Adding a new URL
4 Enter a URL or partial URL to add to the URL block list. (Do not include http://.)
Type a top-level URL or IP address to block access to all pages on a web site. For
example, www.badsite.com or 122.133.144.155 blocks access to all pages at
this web site.
Enter a top-level URL followed by the path and filename to block access to a single
page on a web site. For example, www.badsite.com/news.html or
122.133.144.155/news.html blocks the news page on this web site.
To block all pages with a URL that ends with badsite.com, add badsite.com to
the block list. For example, adding badsite.com blocks access to
www.badsite.com, mail.badsite.com, www.finance.badsite.com, and so
on.
5 Select Enable.
6 Select OK.
In addition to blocking specific or partial URLs, you can block all URLs that match
patterns you create using text and regular expressions (or wildcard characters). For
example, badsite.* matches badsite.com, badsite.org, badsite.net and
so on.
FortiGate web pattern blocking supports standard regular expressions. You can add
up to 20 patterns to the web pattern block list.
Note: Enable Web filtering > Web URL Block in your firewall Protection Profile to activate the
web pattern block settings.
