Url Blocking - LevelOne WBR-6800 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.
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
