Testing URL Blocking Parent topic

Before testing URL blocking, require your users to set the Web client’s HTTP proxy to point to IWSVA.
  • For a stand-alone proxy, set the Web client’s HTTP proxy to point to IWSVA (for example, open Internet Explorer and click Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Use a proxy server).
  • For an upstream proxy, set the Web client’s HTTP proxy to point to IWSVA (for example, open Internet Explorer and click Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Use a proxy server). Open the IWSVA console and click HTTP > Configuration > Proxy Scan in the navigation menu and enable the Dependent Mode. Type the proxy address and the port number.
To Test URL Blocking:
  1. Open the IWSVA console and click HTTP > URL Access Control > Global URL Blocking in the navigation menu and select Enable URL blocking.
  2. In the Match field, type the full Web address, URL keyword, or the exact-match string.
  3. Click Block, and then click Save.
  4. Open a Web browser and try to access the blocked Web site, URL containing the string, or the exact-match string.
