Exempt URL list Web filtering

Exempt URL list

Add URLs to the exempt URL list to allow legitimate traffic that might otherwise be

blocked by content or URL blocking. For example, if content blocking is set to block

pornography-related words and a reputable website runs a story on pornography, web

pages from the reputable website are blocked. Adding the address of the reputable

website to the exempt URL list allows the content of the website to bypass content

blocking.

Adding URLs to the URL Exempt list

1 Go to Web Filter > URLExempt.

2 Select New to add an item to the URL Exempt list.

3 Type the URL to exempt.

Type a complete URL, including path and filename, to exempt access to a page on a

website. For example, www.goodsite.com/index.html exempts access to the

main page of this example website. You can also add IP addresses; for example,

122.63.44.67/index.html exempts access to the main web page at this

address. Do not include http:// in the URL to exempt.

Exempting a top-level URL, such as www.goodsite.com, exempts all requested

subpages (for example, www.goodsite.com/badpage) from all content and URL

filtering rules.

4 Ensure that the Enable checkbox has been selected.

5 Select OK to add the URL to the exempt URL list.

You can enter multiple URLs and then select Check All to activate all items in the

exempt URL list.

You can disable all the URLs in the list by selecting Uncheck All .

Each page of the exempt URL list displays 100 URLs.

6 Use Page Down and Page Up to navigate the exempt URL list.

Note: Content downloaded from exempt web pages is not blocked or scanned by antivirus

protection.

Note: Exempting a top-level URL does not exempt pages such as mail.goodsite.com from

all content and URL filtering rules unless goodsite.com (without the

www) is added to the

exempt URL list.
