4.5.6 Web Site Filtering

Web Site Filtering The SpeedTouch™ allows you to block/allow particular web sites:

Based on the web site’s URL.

As within a web site lots of references can be made to other URLs, it is

recommended to use this feature in combination with content based filtering.

Based on the web site’s content. Redirect a web site to another web site.

If your administrator account is configured as default user, make sure to

! configure a password for this account or change the default user. Otherwise users on your local network can surf to your SpeedTouch™ to disable your filtering rules.

For more information, see “4.5.13 User Management” on page 83 and “4.5.15 Change Default User” on page 85.
