4.7 URL fi ltering
URL fi ltering allows you to restrict access to web pages. If you set the mode
to blocked, web pages whose URL includes a keyword that you select will be
blocked. If you set it to allow, only websites with the specifi c keywords you
have provided will be accessible.
For example, you may want to block access to torrenting websites if you
suspect people in your house may be downloading illegally.

the content of the webpage itself.
