Chapter 12 Content Filtering Screens

Full path URL checking has the ZyWALL check the characters that come before the last slash in the URL.

Use the ip urlfilter customize actionFlags 6 [disable enable] command to extend (or not extend) the keyword blocking search to include the URL's full path.

12.10.3 File Name URL Checking

Filename URL checking has the ZyWALL check all of the characters in the URL.

For example, filename URL checking searches for keywords within the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php.

Use the ip urlfilter customize actionFlags 8 [disable enable] command to extend (or not extend) the keyword blocking search to include the URL's complete filename.

12.11 Content Filtering Cache

Click SECURITY > CONTENT FILTER > Cache to display the CONTENT FILTER Cache screen.

Use this screen to view and configure your ZyWALL’s URL caching. You can also configure how long a categorized web site address remains in the cache as well as view those web site addresses to which access has been allowed or blocked based on the responses from the external content filtering server. The ZyWALL only queries the external content filtering database for sites not found in the cache.

You can remove individual entries from the cache. When you do this, the ZyWALL queries the external content filtering database the next time someone tries to access that web site. This allows you to check whether a web site’s category has been changed.

Please see Section 13.3 on page 298 for how to submit a web site that has been incorrectly categorized.
