Configure Web URL Filtering

If you want to allow or block access by internal LAN users to certain sites on the Internet, use the UTM’s web URL filtering. You can create or import a whitelist that contains domain names and URLs that are accepted and a blacklist with domain names and URLs that are blocked. The whitelist takes precedence over the blacklist. Both the whitelist and the blacklist take precedence over keyword blocking.

Note: A URL that you enter on the whitelist or blacklist might contain other embedded URLs such as URLs for advertisements or sponsors, causing unexpected behavior. If you want to allow a URL by placing it on the whitelist, make sure that all embedded URLs are also placed on the whitelist. Similarly, if you want to block a URL by placing it on the blacklist, make sure that all embedded URLs are also placed on the blacklist.
