Rate URLs by domain and IP
address
When enabled, this option sends both the URL and the IP
address of the requested site for checking, providing
additional security against attempts to bypass the
FortiGuard system.
However, because IP rating is not updated as quickly as
URL rating, some false ratings may occur.
This option is disabled by default.
Category The FortiGuard-Web content filtering service provides
many categories by which to filter web traffic. Set the
action to take on web pages for each category. Choose
from allow, block, monitor, or allow override.
Classification Classifications block whole classes of web sites. Web
sites that provide cached content, Google for example,
can be blocked. Web sites that allow image, audio, or
video searches can also be blocked. Web sites that are
classified are also rated in one of the categories or are
unrated. Choose from allow, block, monitor, or allow
override.
Note: NNTP options cannot be selected. Support will be added in the future.
