5.2.6 Restricting Web Access
You can configure iPECS SBG-1000 to block specific websites so that they cannot be accessed
from computers in the home network. Moreover, restrictions can be applied according to a
comprehensive and automatically updated list of sites to which access is not recommended.
• To block access to a website:
1. Click the ‘Website Restrictions’ link under the ‘Firewall’ menu item.
Figure 5.24 Website Restrictions
2. Click the ‘New Entry’ link. The ‘Restricted Website’ screen appears.
Figure 5.25 Restricted Website
3. Enter the URL (or part of the URL) that you would like to make inaccessible from your
home network (all web pages within this URL will also be blocked). If the URL has multiple
IP addresses, iPECS SBG-1000 will resolve all additional addresses and automatically add
them to the restrictions table.
4. The ‘Local Host’ drop-down menu provides you with the ability to specify the computer or
group of computers on which you would like to apply the website restriction. Select an
address or a name from the list to apply the rule on the corresponding host, or ‘Any’ to
apply the rule on all iPECS SBG-1000’s LAN hosts. If you would like to add a new address,
select the ‘User Defined’ option in the drop-down menu. This will commence a sequence
that will add a new Network Object, representing the new host. Refer to Section 6.9.2 in
order to learn how to do so.
5. By default, the rule will always be active. However, you can define time segments during
which the rule may be active, by selecting ‘User Defined’ from the ‘Schedule’ drop-down
