Settings for URL/content filter

Navigate to UTM > URL/Content Filter > Settings to configure the URL and content filter for your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall.

Input box Description
Content Filter License This field shows the license information for your content filter.
URLs Set a checkmark here in order for sections following a ? (This separates the URL path from the submitted requests to the server.) to be excluded from black and white lists.
Safesearch Set this checkmark to configure the setting SafeSearch=strict for all searches through search engines that support it, such as Google and Yahoo, to hide adult content in search queries. Users cannot change this setting. For example, the Bing search engine does not support this parameter. Users cannot change this setting.
Important: SafeSearch only works when the HTTPS proxy is active, since most search engine providers use encrypted HTTPS connections on their websites.
Override Mode for Categories If a website has been blocked, you can control the behavior of your firewall here:
  • DisabledDo not allow overrides.
  • Allow OverrideIf a webpage is blocked, you can override the Content Filter for a set period of time. Enter the duration in minutes for disabling the category profile of the Content Filter.
    Important: Only the current category of a URL/Content Filter profile is unblocked for a certain period.
  • Allow Override by CodeIf a website has been blocked, your users can override the Content Filter by entering a short numerical code. Specify the users who are allowed to manage the codes here. This can be from the perspective either of your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall local users (see User Authentication), LDAP users or LDAP groups. See Managing URL/content filter codes
