Adding URLs to the URL Exempt list

300
Add URLs to the exempt URL list to allow legitimate traffic that might otherwise be
blocked by content or URL blocking. For example, if content blocking is set to block
pornography-related words and a reputable website runs a story on pornography, web
pages from the reputable website are blocked. Adding the address of the reputable
website to the exempt URL list allows the content of the website to bypass content
blocking.
Note: Content downloaded from exempt web pages is not blocked or scanned by antivirus
protection.
