Access to Internet Resources

On the Internet tab, you can restrict users from visiting unwanted websites (pages on violence, gambling, etc.) or allow access only to certain websites. By default, the No restrictions mode is set for all users. The following modes are also available:

In the mode, you can specify website categories to block. The same website can be assigned to several different categories. In this case, Parental Control blocks access to the site if it belongs to at least one of the categories included in restrictions list. To categorize the websites, the data from Dr.Web cloud service is also used.

In this mode you can also add websites to block or allow access to the resources regardless of other restrictions. To do so, use black and white lists.

1.In the Website categories group, click Edit. The window with blocking categories parameters opens.

•To add certain websites to the list, enter the mask of their names. Letters, numbers, colon (:), forward slash (/), hyphen (-), question mark (?) and asterisk (*) characters are allowed. Masks will be added in the mask://... format.

A mask denotes the common part of object names, at that:

▫The asterisk (*) character replaces any, possibly empty, sequence of characters.

▫The question mark (?) replaces any, including an empty, character (one).

Examples:

▫mask://*.com/—will allow processing of all the domain .com websites;

▫mask://mail—will allow processing of all websites whose names contain the “mail” word;

▫mask://???.com/—will allow processing of all the domain .com websites, whose names consist of three characters or less.

•To add a website within a particular domain to the list, enter the domain name with or without a dot (.) character at the end of the address. Letters, numbers and forward slash (/) are allowed.

Examples:

▫example.com—will allow processing of example.com and its subdomains *example.com;

▫example.—will allow processing of subdomains *example.com but not example.com itself;

▫.com—will allow processing of all subdomains of the domain .com, such as example.com or www.test.com.

•To add websites whose URL contains a certain text, enter this text in the input field. Letters, numbers, forward slash (/) and hyphen (-) characters are allowed.

Examples:

▫example.com/test—will allow processing of such webpages as example.com/test11, template.example.com/test22, and so on;

▫example—will allow processing of such webpages as example.com, example.test.com, test.com/example, test.example222.com, and so on.

Your input may be unified. For example: the https://www.example.com address will be transformed into example.com.

The Safe search option affects results of search engines. This option allows you to exclude unwanted webpages from search results by using the search engine tools.
