Check Enable if you wish to exclude outside PING requests from reaching this router.

5.3.4.5 URL Filter

URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of

http://www.example.com ) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from

accessing particular websites from their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you

can add filter rules to meet your requirements.

Keywords Filtering: Allows blocking by specific keywords within a particular URL

rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called

“advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your specified keywords list is checked to see if any

keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be

blocked. Note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using

port 80 only.

For example, the URL http://www.abc.com/abcde.html would be dropped since the keyword

“abcde” occurs in the URL.
