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.
