Download Automatically every
Selecting Download Automatically every allows you to configure a specific time to download your
Content Filter List. Select a day of the week and a time (24-hour format), for example, Sun. at 22:00
hours. Or, you can click Download Now to immediately download your Content Filter List.
Tip It is recommended to download the URL List at a time when access to the Internet is at a
minimum as downloading the URL List disrupts connectivity to the Internet.
Settings
If you have enabled blocking by Filter Categories and the URL List becomes unavailable, there are
two options available:
• Block traffic to all Web sites except for Allowed Domains
Selecting this option blocks traffic to all Web sites except Allowed Domains until the URL List is
available.
• Allow traffic to all Web sites
Selecting this option allows traffic to all Web sites without the URL List. However, Forbidden
Domains and Keywords, if enabled, are still blocked.
Tip If you enable Block traffic to all Web sites except for Allowed Domains, and you have a 30-day
subscription to the Content Filter List, you may not be able to access the Internet when the
subscription expires.
Select Categories to Block
Block all categories
The SonicWALL uses a Content Filter List generated by CyberPatrol to block access to objectional
Web sites. CyberPatrol classifies objectional Web sites based upon input from a wide range of social,
political, and civic organizations. Select the Block all categories check box to block all of these
categories. Alternatively, you can select categories individually by selecting the appropriate check
box.
Tip When you register your SonicWALL at <http://www.mysonicwall.com>, you can download a one
month subscription to Content Filter List updates.
