Block web-sites

Websites can be blocked by black or white lists.

Blocking requires modules “The Internet” and “Network connections” to be enabled.

Black list:

In order to block access to certain sites, do the following:

  1. Go to the configuration where the controlled PCs are located, from where you need to deny access to this site.
  2. Select “The Internet” and in the “Rules: Access - Sites” menu, under “Block”, enter sites and press “Enter”.

  1. You need to add all the sites that should be locked. Sites are written in a column, one by one. Locking the main site locks the subdomains.

White list

A white list allows you to specify sites that can be accessed. All other websites will be locked.

  1. Just as in the previous case, go to the desired configuration.
  2. Select “The Internet” and in the “Rules: Access - Sites” menu, under “Allow”, enter sites and press “Enter”.

  1. We set the list of sites allowed to visit. All other sites will be locked.

Block web-sites on Linux agent

Starting from version 0.5.19 Linux agent can block websites from the list “Rules - Access - Sites (Block)”

“Web-traffic” module must be enabled

Only black list is supported, blocking by ipv4, ipv6 and substring.

Note

in “Block” the substring is stated, so if “mail” is stated here, both gmail.com and mail.ru will be blocked. Ipv4 - it’s enough to write 192.168.1.0/24 or just 1.2.3.4
