Content Filtering

11.1 Overview

Internet content filtering allows you to block web sites based on keywords in the URL.

See Section 11.1.4 on page 212 for an example of setting up content filtering.

11.1.1What You Can Do in the Content Filter Screens

Use the Keyword screen (Section 11.2 on page 214) to block web sites based on a keyword in the URL.

Use the Schedule screen (Section 11.3 on page 215) to specify the days and times keyword blocking is active.

Use the Trusted screen (Section 11.4 on page 216) to exclude computers and other devices on your LAN from the keyword blocking filter.

11.1.2What You Need to Know About Content Filtering

URL

The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) identifies and helps locates resources on a network. On the Internet the URL is the web address that you type in the address bar of your Internet browser, for example “http://www.zyxel.com”.

11.1.3 Before You Begin

To use the Trusted screen, you need the IP addresses of devices on your network. See the LAN section (Section 11.4 on page 216) for more information.
