Adding Rules for the Address-Based Filter

Introduction

Address-based filtering has a higher priority than content-based filtering. This means that when you are

blocking a specific category, you can still access a specific site if you allow it in the address-based filter.

Example

If you block content from the

Finance / Investment

category and allow access to netbanking.mybank.com,

netbanking.mybank.com will still be accessible.

Options

With the address-based filter you can:

±

Deny access to a specific web site

.

±

Allow access to a specific web site

Redirect a web site
