Technicolor - Thomson TG784 Configuring The Content-based Filter, Creating your own content level

7 Internet Security

7.2.1Configuring The Content-based Filter

Introduction

Address based filtering has a higher priority then content based filtering. This means that when you are blocking a specific category (for example Finance / Investment), you can still access (netbanking.mybank.com) provided you create a rule to allow access to that URL (for example netbanking.mybank.com).

Accessing the configuration page

Proceed as follows:

1Browse to the Thomson Gateway Web Interface.

2On the Toolbox menu, click Web Site Filtering/Parental Control.

3On the Location bar, click Configure.

4Under Content Based Filtering you can change the settings of the content based filter.

Configuring the content-based filter

Under Content Based Filtering:

1Select Use Content Based Filter check box (if needed).

2In the Action for uncategorised sites list, select a default action for sites that have not yet been categorised.

3Under Content Level, select the content level you want to use.

4If you want a more detailed view of the content that will be blocked for this level, click the Edit link next to the content level.

If needed, you can change the Name, Description and Configuration of the content level. Click Apply after you have made your changes.

Creating your own content level

Proceed as follows:

1In the Pick a task list, click Create a new content level.
