5.1.1  Content Filtering Subscription Service
The ZyWALL can use the content filtering subscription service. Content filtering allows or 
blocks access to web sites. Subscribe to category-based content filtering to block access to 
categories of web sites based on content. Your ZyWALL accesses an external database that has 
millions of web sites categorized based on content. You can have the ZyWALL block, block 
and/or log access to web sites based on these categories. See the chapter about content filtering 
for more information.

To use a subscription service, you have to register and activate the 
corresponding service at myZyXEL.com (through the ZyWALL).
