To delete a keyword or domain, select it from the list, click Delete Keyword, then click Apply.

Keyword application examples:

If the keyword "XXX" is specified, the URL <http://www.badstuff.com/xxx.html> is blocked.

If the keyword “.com” is specified, only websites with other domain suffixes (such as .edu or

.gov) can be viewed.

If you wish to block all Internet browsing access during a scheduled period, enter the keyword “.” and set the schedule in the Schedule menu.

To specify a Trusted User, enter that PC’s IP address in the Trusted User box and click Apply. You may specify one Trusted User, which is a PC that will be exempt from blocking and logging. Since the Trusted User will be identified by an IP address, you should configure that PC with a fixed IP address.
