Manage Domain Blacklist and Whitelist

Black and white lists let you block or allow specific domains. Black/white lists are often used to create exceptions to security/category rules.

• You can add specific websites to a blacklist or whitelist according to your organization's web security policies.

• Blacklists and whitelists over-rule category and security rules.

• Whitelists over-rule blacklists.

• E.g. - If you block shopping sites in a category rule, but add 'shop.com' to the whitelist, then 'shop.com' is allowed.

• If you enable 'Only B/W Mode' in a policy, then only the black and white lists are consulted. All security and category rules are ignored.

• Click 'Configure' > 'Policy Settings' > 'B/W Lists' to open the 'B/W Lists' area:

The list of B/W list rules are displayed.

The interface allows you to:

• Create a new domain blacklist / whitelist

• Edit a domain blacklist / whitelist

• Delete a domain blacklist / whitelist

Create a new domain blacklist / whitelist

• Click 'Configure' > 'Policy Settings' > 'B/W Lists'
  

• Click 'Create B/W List' at the top right

• Name and remarks - Create a label for the rule and add any comments. Ideally, these should help you and others identify the purpose of the rule.

• Click 'Next' or 'Settings' to add domains you want to blacklist or white-list. 

• Select Whitelist' or 'Blacklist'.

• Domains - Enter the URL of the website without the 'http://' or 'https://' prefix. For example - www.example.com. Click '+' to add the domain to the rule. Repeat to add more domains.

• Select Country Domains - Add country code top-level domains (ccTLD) to the rule. The country TLD gets appended to the domain name you entered above. For example, if you enter amazon.com as the domain name and select ‘Turkey’, then CSIG adds amazon.com.tr to the rule. You can add multiple country domains.

• To remove a domain name, click the trash can icon
  

• Click the 'Create' button at the bottom of the dialog when finished

The domains are added to B/W list and the list will be available for selection when creating a policy.

Edit a domain blacklist / whitelist

• To update a B/W list, click the edit  button beside the rule

The 'Update B/W List' dialog is similar to the create dialog explained above.

• Modify the name, description and/or domains in the B/W list as per your requirements.

• Click the 'Update' button.

Please note that the policy/policies containing the B/W list will also be updated according to the new settings and name.

Delete a domain blacklist / whitelist

Please note that you cannot delete a B/W list that is currently active in a policy. You have to disable the B/W lists in all policies before deleting it.

• Click the trash can icon  beside a B/W list to delete it

• Click ‘Ok’ in the confirmation box to remove the list
