Setting Block Sites (Content Filtering)

If you want restrict internal LAN users from access to certain sites on the Internet, you can use the VPN firewall’s Content Filtering and Web Components filtering. By default, these features are disabled; all requested traffic from any Web site is allowed. If you enable one or more of these features and users try to access a blocked site, they will see a “Blocked by NETGEAR” message.

Several types of blocking are available:

Web Components blocking. You can block the following Web component types: Proxy, Java, ActiveX, and Cookies. Even sites on the Trusted Domains list will be subject to Web Components blocking when the blocking of a particular Web component is enabled.

Keyword (and domain name) blocking. You can specify up to 32 words that, should they appear in the Web site name (URL) or in a newsgroup name, will cause that site or newsgroup to be blocked by the VPN firewall.

You can apply the keywords to one or more groups. Requests from the PCs in the groups for which keyword blocking has been enabled will be blocked. Blocking does not occur for the PCs that are in the groups for which keyword blocking has not been enabled.
