About the custom blacklist
In addition to the RepDV database, you can add custom blacklist entries of host names to restrict
access. Specify a time range for the entries during which the access to the host names is restricted.
You can select from a predefined time range or create a custom time range. You can disable a
blacklist entry, so that access to the host name is not restricted temporarily.
For example, in a university campus, you can set the custom blacklist to restrict access to social
media sites which are a distraction during class hours. Restricting access to social media sites
encourages the staff and students to engage more with one another during class.
