DESCRIPTION

 

 

Unrated Web Pages

Select Block to prevent users from accessing web pages that the external

 

database content filtering has not categorized.

 

When the external database content filtering blocks access to a web

 

page, it displays the denied access message that you configured in the

 

CONTENT FILTER General screen along with the category of the

 

blocked web page.

 

Select Log to record attempts to access web pages that are not

 

categorized.

When Content Filter Server

Select Block to block access to any requested web page if the external

Is Unavailable

content filtering database is unavailable. The following are possible

 

causes:

 

There is no response from the external content filtering server within

 

the time period specified in the Content Filter Server Unavailable

 

Timeout field.

 

The ZyWALL is not able to resolve the domain name of the external

 

content filtering database.

 

There is an error response from the external content filtering

 

database. This can be caused by an expired content filtering

 

registration (External content filtering’s license key is invalid”).

 

Select Log to record attempts to access web pages that occur when the

 

external content filtering database is unavailable.

Content Filter Server

Specify a number of seconds (1 to 30) for the ZyWALL to wait for a

Unavailable Timeout

response from the external content filtering server. If there is still no

 

response by the time this period expires, the ZyWALL blocks or allows

 

access to the requested web page based on the setting in the Block

 

When Content Filter Server Is Unavailable field.
