Configuring Approved URLs to Allow Access to Websites

Click Firewall > Content Filtering > Approved URLs.
The Approved URLs window opens.
In the Approved URLs List Enable area, enable or disable this feature:
a. Do you want to Enable Approved URLs List?: Check the box to enable the list
of approved URLs, or uncheck the box to disable this feature.

Enter the following information:
• URL: Enter the domain name or keywords for a website that you want to
approve. Separate multiple entries with semicolons (;).
• Match Type: Specify the method for applying this rule:
- Website: Choose this option to allow access only to the exact URL that
you entered in the URL box. For example, if you entered www.yahoo.com,
then your users can access www.yahoo.com, but they will be blocked
from www.yahoo.com.uk or www.yahoo.co.jp.
- URL keyword: Choose this option to allow access to any URL that
contains the keyword that you entered in the URL box. For example, if you
entered yahoo, then your users can access websites such as
www.yahoo.com, tw.yahoo.com, www.yahoo.com.uk, and
www.yahoo.co.jp.
