Address Based Filtering With address based filtering, you can allow or block access to specific web sites based on their address. You can also block access to a specific site and redirect the browser to another site.

You can do this by configuring an address filter similar to this example:

Example:

Any rule created for www.Speedtouch.com also applies to <anything>.speedtouch.com.
