Creating a Filtering Policy

A filtering policy defines what sites will be blocked, based on their category. The
Router provides four built-in policies:
• Block All - blocks all access to the Internet
• Allow All - allows unlimited Internet access
• Home - blocks sites under the "Child Protection" category
• Employee - blocks sites from non work-related categories
These policies can be set from the "Default Filtering Policy" drop-down list in the
"Filtering Policy" screen. To view or edit the "Home" and "Employee" policies, click
their respective links in the Filtering Policy screen.
Custom filtering policies can also be created. To do so:
1. From the MegaControl Panel, click Parental Control.
