On the Advanced Internet screen, select the desired setting:

Disable - disable this feature.

Block By Schedule - block according to the settings on the Schedule page.

Block Always - allow blocking all of the time, independent of the Schedule page.

Click the Configure URL Filter button to open the URL Filter screen, allowing you to create or modify the filter strings which determine which sites will be blocked.
