Testing URL Filtering

Use the default settings to test URL filtering.

To test the URL Filter module:

  1. Click HTTP > URL Filtering > Settings from the main menu. Configure the work days and times.

  2. Click HTTP > URL Filtering > Policies from the Main menu.

  3. Select Enable URL filtering and then click Save.

  4. Click URL Filtering Global Policy and select the Block action to apply to the categories that you want blocked during the time you selected.
    Keep the default settings in the Safe Search and Exception tabs.

  5. Click Save to save any changes. Click Deploy Policies to make the policy effective immediately.

  6. Open a browser and access any site that is in a category to be blocked at the time of the test. IWSVA blocks access to URLs belonging to the category that is set to be blocked.
