Manage URL and Content Filtering Profiles


  • Click 'URL Filter' in the left-hand menu to open the filter configuration screen
  • The web filter allows you to control which websites your end-users can access.
  • You need to create a URL/content filter profile to implement this feature. The profile can then be added to a firewall rule

There are two elements of a URL profile:

  • A website category filter.
  • A whitelist / blacklist of specific websites.

Once created, URL profiles can be activated in the 'Web Protection' section of a firewall rule. See Web Protection Settings for help with this.

    • Profiles created for an organization are available to all devices in that organization.
    • Profiles created for an individual device are only be available to that device.

    Open the URL filter interface

    • Click 'URL Filter' on the left

    Create a URL Filter Profile


    URL filter profiles are constructed from the following two items:

    • Content categories - Web pages with content which falls into a chosen category will be automatically blocked
    • URL Whitelist/Blacklist - Users can access whitelisted addresses. Blacklisted addresses will be blocked. These lists are often used to create exceptions for sites blocked (or allowed) by content categories.


    To create a URL filtering profile

    • Click 'URL Filter' on the left
    • Select an organization/device from the drop-down in the title bar
    • Click the 'Add a New URL Filter Profile' button at the top-left of the interface.




    Complete the following details in the form:

    • Name - Friendly label to identify the purpose of the profile.
    • 'Filter pages known to have...' - Choose website categories that you want to block:



    Tip: Press and hold the 'Ctrl' key to select mutiple items.


    • 'Custom black and whitelists' - Specify URLs you want to allow or block. Black and whitelists are usually created to provide exceptions to the categories you have allowed/blocked.



    • 'Allow the following sites' – Whitelisted websites. Users are allowed to access the sites you type here.
    • 'Block the following sites' – Blacklisted websites. Users are not allowed to access sites you type here.

    Note:

    • Type URLs in the format www.example.com (without http:// or https://)
    • Wildcard characters are allowed. For example, *.example.com will block all sub-domains of example.com
    • Click 'Save'.

    The profile is now available in the 'URL Filter' drop-down when creating/editing a firewall rule.

    • Repeat the process to add more filter profiles.
