Section 1: Block URL
The Block URL feature allows you to restrict access to to defined Web sites. You can block by URL, IP address, or Keyword. You can also have different blocking settings for different groups of PCs.
How it works
Every URL is searched to see if it matches or contains any of the URL or keywords entered here. After a DNS lookup determines the IP address of the requested site, the site’s IP address is checked against IP address entries on the Block URL console.
A single IP address may host many Web sites. Entering the IP address on this screen will block all Web sites hosted on that IP address.
