Proxy > HTTP Proxy > Custom Filters
The URL Categories in the HTTP Proxy page allows URLs to be filtered or forwarded by the firewall. On this
screen, you can configure Custom Filters. Custom filters will take preference over URL categories. You can use
custom filters to build groups of filters or lists that can be filtered by networks. The set of rules for the forwarding
and filtered of URLs for a particular network can be configured here. Note that this screen shows additional
fields; it has been expanded by adding a URL List Name and clicking Add.
