Delete
The button deletes a selected entry from the list. This button is inactive if no entry is
selected.
Web-Filter
The Web filter is based on an internal database, updated daily, that classifies URLs
according to content.
Activate web filter
When the option is enabled, all URLs matching the selected categories in the Web filter
list are blocked.
Web filter list
In the Web filter list you can select the content categories whose URLs are to be blocked
by WebGuard.
Note
The Web filter is ignored for entries in the list of excluded URLs under
WebGuard::Scan::Exceptions.
Note
Spam URLs are URLs sent with spam emails. The Fraud and Deception category covers
web pages with “Subscription Expires” and other offers of services whose costs are
hidden by the provider.
12.6.1.3. Exceptions
These options allow you to set exceptions based on MIME types (content types for the
transferred data) and file types for URLs (Internet addresses) for scanning by WebGuard.
The MIME types and URLs specified are ignored by WebGuard, i.e. that data is not
scanned for viruses and malware when it is transferred to your computer system.
MIME types skipped by WebGuard
In this field you can select the MIME types (content types for the transferred data) to be
ignored by WebGuard during scanning.
File types/MIME types skipped by WebGuard (user-defined)
All MIME types (content types for the transferred data) in the list are ignored by
WebGuard during scanning.
Input box
In this box you can input the name of the MIME types and file types to be ignored by
WebGuard during scanning. For file types, enter the file extension, e.g. .htm. For MIME
types, indicate the media type and, where applicable, sub-type. The two statements are
separated from one another by a single slash, e.g. video/mpeg or audio/x-wav.
Note
No wildcards (* for any number of characters or ? for a single character) can be used
when entering file types and MIME types.
