Adding URLs to the Web URL block list

3 Type the URL the you want to block.
Type a top-level URL or IP address to block access to all pages on a website. For
example, www.badsite.com or 122.133.144.155 blocks access to all pages at
this website.
Type a top-level URL followed by the path and filename to block access to a single
page on a website. For example, www.badsite.com/news.html or
122.133.144.155/news.html blocks the news page on this website.
To block all pages with a URL that ends with badsite.com, add badsite.com to
the block list. For example, adding badsite.com blocks access to
www.badsite.com, mail.badsite.com, www.finance.badsite.com, and so
on.
Note: Banned Word must be selected in the content profile for web pages containing banned
words to be blocked.
