URL filter controls access to websites. URL filter lets you restrict access to unwanted internet resources. To configure URL filter, you can select specific websites or website categories.
In an attempt to open a restricted webpage, you will see a relevant notification and will not be able to access its contents.
On the Dr.Web main screen, tap URL filter (see Figure 17).
