URL blocking

  1. Finally, one can restrict access to certain names or domains with the filter list. To block the domain (in this case the web server) 'www.offlimits.com' for all computers in the LAN, the following commands and entries are required: LANconfig: TCP/IP / DNS Filter / DNS filter... / Add WEBconfig: … / Filter-list / Add




    The index '001' in the console command can be selected as desired and is used only for clarity.
    Note: When entering the domains, the wildcards '?' (represents exactly one character) and '*' (for any number of characters) are permitted.
    To only block the access of a certain computer (e.g. with IP 10.0.0.123) to COM domains, enter the following values:




    In the console mode the command is: set 002 *.com 10.0.0.123 255.255.255.255
    Note: The hit list in the DNS statistics contains the 64 most frequently requested names and provides a good basis for setting up the filter list.
    If your LAN uses subnetting, you can also apply filters to individual departments by carefully selecting the IP addresses and subnet masks. The IP address '0.0.0.0' stands for all computers in the network, and the subnet mask '0.0.0.0' for all networks.
