You cannot use WebBlocker exceptions to make an internal host exempt
from WebBlocker rules.
From the HTTP Proxy dialog box:
1 Click the WB: Exceptions tab (you might need to use the arrow keys
at the right of the dialog box to see this tab).
2 In the Allowed Exceptions section, click Add.
The Define Exceptions dialog box appears.
3 Select the type of exception: host address, network address, or enter
URL. You can also use the Lookup Domain Name option to
determine the IP address of a domain.
4 To allow a specific port or directory pattern, enter the port or string to
be allowed.
When typing IP addresses, type the digits and periods in sequence. Do not use the
TAB or arrow key to jump past the periods. For more information on entering IP
addresses, see “Entering IP addresses” on page 38.
5 In the Denied Exceptions section, click Add. Specify the host address,
network address, or URL to be denied.
To block a specific string to be denied for a domain, select Host Address. To block a
specific directory pattern, enter the string to be blocked (for example, “*poker”).
