Configuring WebBlocker

132 Firebox X Edge e-Series

Allowing Certain Sites to Bypass WebBlocker

WebBlocker can deny a web site that is necessary for your work. You can override WebBlocker using the

Allowed Sites feature.

For example, employees in your company frequently use web sites that contain medical information.

Some of these web sites are forbidden by WebBlocker because they fall into the sex education category.

To override WebBlocker, you add the web site’s IP address or its domain name to the Allowed Sites

record.

Note

This WebBlocker feature only applies to web sites on the Internet. You cannot use WebBlocker to block

your users from web sites behind the Firebox®.

1 From the navigation bar, select WebBlocker > Allowed Sites.

The WebBlocker Allowed Sites page appears.

2 From the drop-down list, select host IP address or domain name.

3 Type the host IP address or domain name of the web site to allow.

Repeat step 3 for each additional host or domain name that you wish to add to the Allowed Sites list.

The domain (or host) name is the part of a URL that ends with .com, .net, .org, .biz, .gov, or .edu. Domain names

may also end in a country code, such as .de (Germany) or .jp (Japan).

To add a domain name, type the URL pattern without the leading "http://". For example, to allow access to the Google

web site, select to add a domain name and enter “google.com”.

If the site has a subdomain that resolves to a different IP address, you must enter that subdomain to allow it. For

example, if “www.site.com” and “site.com” are on different servers, you must add both entries.

4 Click Add.

The site is added to the Allowed Sites list.

5 Click Submit.

To remove an item from the Allowed Sites list, select the address and click Remove, then click Submit.

Blocking Additional Web Sites

You can block some web sites that WebBlocker allows. For example, you can receive a LiveSecurity® Ser-

vice alert that tells you that a frequently used web site is dangerous. Use the Denied Sites feature to add
