Forming black and white lists

1.Enter a domain name (or part of it) into the field:

If you wish to add a specific web site, enter its full address (e.g. www.example.com). Access to all resources on that web site will be allowed/restricted.

If you wish to allow/restrict access to web sites, which contain certain text in their address name, enter that text into the field (e.g. example means that access to example.com, example.test.com, test.com/example, test.xample222.ru, etc. will be allowed/restricted).
If the string contains the "." symbol, it will be considered a domain name. In this case all resources on the domain will be filtered.
 
If the string also contains the "/" symbol (e.g. example.com/test), then the part to the left of it will be considered the domain name and the part to the right will be allowed/restricted on the domain (e.g. example.com/test11, template.example.com/test22, etc. will be filtered).

2.Click Add. The address (or part of it) will be added to the list above.
The address may be converted to a more simple structure (e.g. http://www.example.com will be converted to www.example.com).

3.To delete a web resource from the list, select it and click Delete.
