URL Filter
URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http://
www.example.com) lter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular
websites by their URL. There are no pre-dened URL lter rules; you can add lter rules to meet
your requirements.
Enable/Disable: To enable or disable URL Filter feature.
Block Mode: A list of the modes that you can choose to check the URL lter rules. The default is
set to Always On.
Disabled: No action will be performed by the Block Mode.
Always On: Action is enabled. URL lter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours of
the day.
TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: It is self-dened time period. You may specify the time period
to check the URL lter rules, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time
Schedule section.
Keywords Filtering: Allows blocking by specic keywords within a particular URL rather than having
to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your
specied keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to
determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL lter blocks web
browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.
For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, it will be dropped as the keyword
“abcde” occurs in the URL.
