Exceptions
Exceptions are lists of URLs that are blocked or allowed regardless of their safety ratings.
The Allowed list takes precedence over the Blocked list. URLs that match entries in the Allowed list are not checked against the Blocked list.
Allowed
URLs included in the Allowed list will be accessible regardless of their safety ratings. Multiple URLs can be added at once but they must be separated by a line break. When adding URLs to the Allowed list, select whether to allow all URLs with the same domain or the URL:
- Allow URLs from the domain: Allow all pages from the domain. Sub-domains are supported. Only include the domain (and optionally sub-domain) in the entry. For example, "example.com" and "another.example.com" are valid entries.
- Allow the URL: The URL as entered will be allowed. Wildcards are supported. For example, "example.com/shopping/coats.html", and "example.com/shopping/*" are valid entries.
Blocked
URLs and URLs containing specified keywords included in the Blocked list are always blocked (unless there is an overriding entry in the Allowed list). Multiple URLs or keywords can be added at once but they must be separated by a line break. When blocking URLs, you select whether to block all URLs from a domain, to block the URL, or to block URLs that contain a specific keyword.
- Block URLs from the domain: Block all pages from the domain. Sub-domains are supported. Only include the domain (and optionally sub-domain) in the entry. For example, "example.com" and "another.example.com" are valid entries.
- Block the URL: The URL as entered will be blocked. Wildcards are supported. For example, "example.com/shopping/coats.html", and "example.com/shopping/*" are valid entries.
- Block URLs containing this keyword: Any URL containing the keyword will be blocked.
