Overview

Website white and black list configuration is an effective filter to block websites. You can either use the black list or the white list. Only websites in the white list are allowed to access when white list is enabled. Enable black list means allow all except those listed in the black list.

To make blocking work, you can change an existing blocking level or add a new one. Here we start this example from adding a new blocking level.

1 Add A New Blocking Level

Click "Blocking Levels" -> "Add Blocking Level", fill in the level name and the level description. As in Figure 1, the level name is "Blocking website" and the level desc is "Block website".

Take blocking tencent sports and entertainment websites as an example, you may add "sports.qq.com" and "ent.qq.com" in the "Black List" as in Figure 3.
