To enable keyword blocking, select either Per Schedule or Always, then click Apply. If you want to block by schedule, be sure to specify a time period in the Schedule menu. For scheduling, see “Scheduling When Blocking Will Be Enforced” on page 4-4.

To add a keyword or domain, type it in the Keyword box, click Add Keyword, then click Apply. 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 Web sites 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 computer’s IP address in the Trusted User box and click Apply.

You may specify one Trusted User, which is a computer that is exempt from blocking and logging. Since the Trusted User is identified by IP address, you should configure that computer with a fixed IP address.
