3.7.3.7 Website Restrictions

You may configure the W40 to block specific Internet Web sites so that they cannot be accessed from computers in

the local network. Furthermore, restrictions can be applied to a comprehensive and automatically-updated table of

sites to which access is not recommended.

 To block access to a Website:

1. Click the Website Restrictions link of the Firewall menu item under the Services tab.

Figure 76: Website Restrictions

2. Click the New Entry link. The Restricted Website screen appears.

Figure 77: Restricted Website

3. Enter the URL that you would like to make inaccessible from your local network (all Web pages within this

URL will also be blocked). If the URL has multiple IP addresses, the W40 will resolve all additional addresses

and automatically add them to the restrictions table.

4. The Local Host drop-down menu provides you the ability to specify the computer or group of computers on

which you would like to apply the Web site restriction. Select an address or a name from the list to apply the

rule on the corresponding host, or any to apply the rule on all W40 LAN hosts. If you would like to add a new

address, select the User Defined option in the drop-down menu. This will initiate a sequence that will add a

new Network Object, representing the new host. Refer to Section Error! Reference source not found.

for further instruction.

5. By default, the rule will always be active. However, you can configure scheduler rules by selecting User

Defined in order to define time segments during which the rule may be active. Once a scheduler rule(s) is

defined, the Schedule drop-down menu will allow you to choose between the available rules. To learn how to

configure scheduler rules, refer to Section Error! Reference source not found.

6. Click OK to save the settings. You will be returned to the previous screen while the W40 attempts to find the

site.

7. Resolving... will appear in the Status column while the site is being located (the URL is resolved into one or

more IP addresses).
