Setting Up URL Filtering {URL Filtering}
The HSG can restrict access to specified Web sites based on URLs defined by the
system administrator. URL filtering will block access to a list of sites and/or domains
entered by the administrator using the following three methods:
z Host IP address (for example, 1.2.3.4)
z Host DNS name (for example, www.yahoo.com)
z DNS domain name (for example, *.yahoo.com, meaning all sites under the
yahoo.com hierarchy, such as finance.yahoo.com, sports.yahoo.com, etc.).
The system administrator can dynamically add or remove specific IP addresses and
domain names to be filtered for each property.
