categorization.

Each profile can contain three objects settings, IM Object, P2P Object and Misc Object. Such

profile can be applied in the

Firewall>>General Setup

and

Firewall>>Filter Setup

pages as

the standard for the host(s) to follow.

4.7.2 URL Content Filter Profile

To provide an appropriate cyberspace to users, Vigor router equips with

URL Content Filter

not only to limit illegal traffic from/to the inappropriate web sites but also prohibit other web

feature where malicious code may conceal.

Once a user type in or click on an URL with objectionable keywords, URL keyword blocking

facility will decline the HTTP request to that web page thus can limit user’s access to the

website. You may imagine

URL Content Filter

as a well-trained convenience-store clerk who

won’t sell adult magazines to teenagers. At office,

URL Content Filter

can also provide a

job-related only environment hence to increase the employee work efficiency. How can URL

Content Filter work better than traditional firewall in the field of filtering? Because it checks

the URL strings or some of HTTP data hiding in the payload of TCP packets while legacy

firewall inspects packets based on the fields of TCP/IP headers only.

On the other hand, Vigor router can prevent user from accidentally downloading malicious

codes from web pages. It’s very common that malicious codes conceal in the executable objects,

such as ActiveX, Java Applet, compressed files, and other executable files. Once downloading

these types of files from websites, you may risk bringing threat to your system. For example, an

ActiveX control object is usually used for providing interactive web feature. If malicious code

hides inside, it may occupy user’s system.

For example, if you add key words such as “sex”, Vigor router will limit web access to web

sites or web pages such as “www.sex.com”, ”www.backdoor.net/images/sex/p_386.html”. Or

you may simply specify the full or partial URL such as “www.sex.com” or “sex.com”.

Also the Vigor router will discard any request that tries to retrieve the malicious code.

Group/Object Selections

– The Vigor router provides several

frames for users to define keywords and each frame supports

multiple keywords. The keyword could be a noun, a partial noun, or

a complete URL string. Multiple keywords within a frame are

separated by space, comma, or semicolon. In addition, the maximal

length of each frame is 32-character long. After specifying keywords,

the Vigor router will decline the connection request to the website

whose URL string matched to any user-defined keyword. It should

be noticed that the more simplified the blocking keyword list, the
