Parameter Description
URL Filtering
Disable or activate this function.
Schedule
It is self-defined time period. Check Disable radio button to inactivate the URL
Filtering function, or keep the URL Filtering as Always on. You may also
specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer
to Time Schedule section.
Keywords Filtering
Allows blocking by specific 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 specified keywords list will be
checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if
the connection attempt should be blocked.
Domain Filtering
This function checks the domain name only, not the IP address, in URLs
accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the
URL request will be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to
be activated, both Enable and Disable all WEB traffic except for Trusted
Domain must be checked.

This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules.
Block Java Applet: This function can block Web content which includes the
Java Applet. It is to prevent someone who wants to damage your system via
standard HTTP.
Block surfing by IP address: Preventing someone who uses the IP address
as URL for skipping Domain Filtering function. Activate only if Domain
Filtering is Enable.
