Creating a Filtering Policy

A filtering policy defines what sites will be blocked, based on their category. The Router provides four built-in policies:

•Allow All - allows unlimited Internet access

•Home - blocks sites under the “Child Protection” category

•Employee - blocks sites from non work-related categories

These policies can be set from the “Default Filtering Policy” drop-down list in the “Filtering Policy” screen. To view or edit the “Home” and “Employee” policies, click their respective links in the Filtering Policy screen.

Custom filtering policies can also be created. To do so:

1.From the MegaControl Panel, click Parental Control.
