This article applies to our On-Premise Appliance Filter and Firewall product only, not to Cloud.
You can block or allow URLs and domains in a few ways:
- Add domains or URLs to a Custom Category and then use it in a Web Filter Policy to control access.
- Use the Default Web Filter Policies, which include an Allow policy for Custom allowed content and a Block policy for Custom blocked content. These Categories are blank, so you can edit them as needed.
The quickest way to block or allow domains or URLs is by using the Quick block/allow tool:
- Go to Guardian > Quick Links > Quick block/allow.
- Enter the URL or domain, then select Block or Allow.
- Select the Custom blocked content or Custom allowed content links to open the Guardian > Policy Objects > Categories page in a new tab. Here, you can see the URL or domain added to the Custom allowed content or Custom blocked content Category.
