On the Internet tab, you can restrict users from visiting unwanted websites (pages on violence, gambling, etc.) or allow access only to certain websites. By default, the No restrictions mode is set for all users. The following modes are also available:

In the mode, you can specify website categories to block. The same website can be assigned to several different categories. In this case, Office Control blocks access to the site if it belongs to at least one of the categories included in restrictions list.

In this mode you can also add websites to block or allow access to the resources regardless of other restrictions. To do so, use black and white lists.

You can set black and white lists of websites access to which is allowed or blocked regardless of other Office Control parameters.

1.In the Black and white lists group, click Edit. The window with black and white list settings opens.

2.Add the object to the White list field to allow access to the website. Add the object to the Black list field to prevent access to the website. You can enter a mask, a domain or a URL address of an object to white or black lists

•To add certain websites to the list, enter the mask of their names. Letters, numbers, colon (:), forward slash (/), hyphen (-), question mark (?) and asterisk (*) characters are allowed. Masks will be added in the mask://... format.

A mask denotes the common part of object names, at that:

▫The asterisk (*) character replaces any, possibly empty, sequence of characters.

▫The question mark (?) replaces any one character.

Examples:

▫mask://*.com/—will allow processing of all the domain .com websites;

▫mask://mail—will allow processing of all websites whose names contain the “mail” word;

▫mask://ma?l.com/—will allow processing of all websites whose names contain “ma” and “l.com” with any character between them.

If you use the question mark (?) at the beginning of the mask, only the minimum number of random characters is processed. For example: mask://???.com will allow processing of such websites as exe.com, example.com, example.com/test.command.

•To add a website within a particular domain to the list, enter the domain name with or without a dot (.) character at the end of the address. Letters, numbers and forward slash (/) are allowed.

Examples:

▫example.com—will allow processing of example.com and its subdomains *example.com;

▫example.—will allow processing of subdomains *example.com but not example.com itself;

▫.com—will allow processing of all subdomains of the domain .com, such as example.com or www.test.com.

•To add websites whose URL contains a certain text, enter this text in the input field. Letters, numbers, forward slash (/) and hyphen (-) characters are allowed.

Examples:

▫example.com/test—will allow processing of such webpages as example.com/test11, template.example.com/test22, and so on;

▫example—will allow processing of such webpages as example.com, example.test.com, test.com/example, test.example222.com, and so on.

Your input may be unified. For example: the https://www.example.com address will be transformed into example.com.

•Export—allows you to save the created list of addresses to be used on another computer where Dr.Web is installed.

•Import—allows you to use the list of addresses created on another computer.

The Safe search option affects results of search engines. This option allows you to exclude unwanted webpages from search results by using the search engine tools.
