<strong>Web</strong> filtering<br />

URL filtering 6<br />

Advanced Settings<br />

Advanced settings for the URL Filter module<br />

Force rating attempts to run in synchronous mode — When selected, the search is performed in<br />

synchronous mode<br />

Searching in synchronous mode means that if the Global Threat Intelligence system is involved, the<br />

appliance connects to the Global Threat Intelligence server for processing a particular request and does<br />

not begin with processing other requests before the server has responded and processing of the first<br />

request has been completed.<br />

Note: Using this option will reduce performance if the Global Threat Intelligence server is slow in responding.<br />

Treat connection problems to the cloud as errors — When selected, problems arising on the<br />

connection from the appliance to the Global Threat Intelligence server are logged as errors<br />

Properties for error handling are set and eventually rules from an Error Handler rule set are executed.<br />

Do a backward DNS lookup also for private addresses — When selected, private IP addresses<br />

are included in the backward DNS lookup<br />

Excluding these addresses from the lookup leads to an increase in performance for URL filtering.<br />

Note: This option is disabled by default.<br />

The lookup includes the following types of addresses:<br />

• IPv4<br />

• Private addresses<br />

• Zeroconf addresses<br />

• IPv6<br />

• Link local addresses<br />

• Site local addresses<br />

• Unique local addresses<br />

Proxy Settings<br />

Settings for configuring a proxy the appliance can use to connect to the Global Threat Intelligence<br />

system<br />

Use upstream proxy — When selected, the appliance uses a proxy for connecting to the Global<br />

Threat Intelligence server on which lookups for URL category information, also known as “in-the-cloud”<br />

lookups, can be performed<br />

IP or name of the proxy — IP address or host name of the proxy<br />

Port of the proxy — Number of the port on the proxy that listens for lookup requests from the<br />

appliance<br />

User name — User name for the appliance when logging on to the proxy<br />

Password — Password for the appliance<br />

Set — Opens a window for setting the password<br />
