URL Blocking

URL BLOCKING

By filtering inbound Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) the risk of compromising the network can be reduced. URLs are commonly used to point to websites. By specifying a URL or a keyword contained in a URL traffic from that site may be blocked.

◆FQDN — A fully qualified domain name (FQDN), sometimes referred to as an absolute domain name, is a domain name that specifies its exact location in the tree hierarchy of the Domain Name System (DNS). It specifies all domain levels, including the top-level domain and the root domain. Fully qualified domain names leave no ambiguity as to their identity. Enter the top level and root domains for the URL that you want to block. For example, myhost.example.com.
