URL Filter 
URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of 
 or 
) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular 
websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your 
requirements.  
 
Enable/Disable: To enable or disable URL Filter feature. 
Block Mode: A list of the modes that you can choose to check the URL filter rules.
 
The default is set to 
Always On.   
 
Disabled: No action will be performed by the Block Mode.   
 
Always On: Action is enabled.    URL filter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours of 
the day.   
 
TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16:    It is self-defined time period.    You may specify the time period to 
check the URL filter rules, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time 
Schedule
 section.   
Keywords Filtering: Allows blocking by specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to 
specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your 
specified keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine 
if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) 
connection attempts using port 80 only. 
For example
, if the URL is 
, it will be dropped as the keyword “abcde” 
occurs in the URL. 
Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL not the IP address, in URLs accessed against 
your list of domains to block or allow.    If it is matched, the URL request will be sent (Trusted) or dropped 
(Forbidden).  For this function to be activated, both check-boxes must be checked.  Here is the 
checking procedure:   
1.  Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt 
is sent to the remote web server. 
2.  If not, check if it is listed in the forbidden list.  If yes, then the connection attempt will be
