Order of web filter operations
Web filtering includes various modules and engines that perform separate tasks. The
FortiGate unit performs web filtering in the order the filters appear in the web-based
manager menu: content block, URL block, URL exempt, category block (FortiGuard),
and script filter.
This chapter describes:
• Content block
• URL block
• URL exempt
• Category block
• Script filter
Content block
Control web content by blocking specific words or word patterns. The FortiGate unit
blocks web pages containing banned words and displays a replacement message
instead.
You can use Perl regular expressions or wildcards to add banned word patterns to the
list. See “Using Perl regular expressions” on page 354.
