Chapter 4 –Security 

Section 1: Block URL 

The Block URL feature allows you to restrict access to to defined Web sites. You can 

block by URL, IP address, or Keyword. You can also have different blocking settings for 

different groups of PCs. 

How it works  

Every URL is searched to see if it matches or contains any of the URL or keywords 

entered here. After a DNS lookup determines the IP address of the requested site, the 

site’s IP address is checked against IP address entries on the Block URL console. 

A single IP address may host many Web sites. Entering the IP address on this screen will 

block all Web sites hosted on that IP address.
