3-2 Content Filtering

v1.2, July 2007

• To add a keyword or domain, type it in, click Add Keyword, and then click Apply.

• To delete a keyword or domain, select it from the list, click Delete Keyword, and then click

Apply.

• To specify a trusted user, enter that computer’s IP address in the Trusted User box and then

click Apply. You may specify one trusted user, which is a computer that will be exempt from

blocking and logging. Since the trusted user will be identified by an IP address, you should

configure that computer with a fixed IP address.

Keyword Application Examples

• If the keyword “XXX” is specified, the URL <http://www.badstuff.com/xxx.html> is blocked.

• If the keyword “.com” is specified, only websites with other domain suffixes (such as .edu or

.gov) can be viewed.

• If you want to block all Internet browsing access during a scheduled period, enter the keyword

“.” and set the schedule in the Schedule page.

Blocking Services (Port Filtering)

You can block the use of certain Internet services by computers on your network. This is called

services blocking or port filtering.

Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For

example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game

hosts serve data about other players’ moves.

When a computer on your network sends a request for service to a server computer on the Internet,

the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This number appears as the

destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with

destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request.
