6.3.4. Dynamic Web Content Filtering
manually propose a new classification of sites.
This mechanism can be enabled on a per-HTTP ALG level, which means that you can choose to
enable this functionality for regular users or for a selected user group only.
If reclassification is enabled and a user requests a web site which is disallowed, the block web page
will include a dropdown list containing all available categories. If the user believes the requested
web site is wrongly classified, he can select a more appropriate category from the dropdown list and
submit that as a proposal.
The URL to the requested web site as well as the proposed category will then be sent to D-Link's
central data warehouse for manual inspection. That inspection may result in the web site being
reclassified, either according to the category proposed or to a category which is felt to be correct.
