AT-WA1004G User’s Guide

Note

The “DMZ PC” is effectively outside the firewall, making it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required.

URL Filter

The URL Filter allows you to block access to undesirable Web site

To use this feature, you must define “filter strings.” If the “filter string” appears in a requested URL, the request is blocked.

Enabling the URL Filter also affects the Internet Access Log. If Enabled, the “Destination” field in the log will display the URL. Otherwise, it will display the IP Address.
