Title: anyone have any success with website filter?
Post by: mnztr on September 11, 2010, 08:35:35 AM

I am trying to stop pop ups (for some reason Firefox won't stop them) and I entered the domain name and set it to deny.. no difference at all. Has anyone had any success getting this feature to work?

My website filter works perfectly. 

Check Access Control and at least MAKE A RULE.  My Access Control Rule uses my workstations IP addresses.

Now, go to websites section and put in strings to be filtered, not website URL's.

Samples of things to filter are:

track
spy
goggle
bargain
free
advertising
friendfinder
google-analytics
spam
redirect

You get the idea.

To clarify, you can enter multiple IP's or "computers" into one rule.  My one rule covers all my workstations but I entered all appropriate IP's into that one rule.

You do not need a separate rule for each address.

Select "other machines" and "apply website filter" when creating the rule and all on the network should be blocked from those sites.
