Black and White Lists

In this window, you can configure lists of websites access to which is allowed or blocked regardless of other Parental Control settings.

To manage white and black lists, click Black and White Lists.

Figure 32. Creating white and black lists

By default, the lists are empty. If required, you can add website addresses to the black and white lists.

To configure black and white lists

1.Enter a domain name or a part of a domain name for the website in the White list or Black list field depending on whether you want to allow or block access to it. Details

•To add a certain website, enter its URL (for example, www.example.com). This allows access to all webpages located on this website;

•To allow the access to websites whose URL contains a certain text, enter this text in the input field. Example: if you enter example text, then the access to the addresses example.com, example.test.com, test.com/example, test.example222.ru etc. will be granted;

•To allow access to websites within a particular domain, enter the domain name with a period (.) character. This allows access to all webpages located on this website. If the domain name includes a forward slash (/), the substring before the slash is considered a domain name, while the substring after the slash is considered a part of address for the websites that you want to access within this domain. For example, if you enter example.com/test, SpIDer Gate will allow processing of such webpages as example.com/test11, template.example.com/test22, and so on;

•To add certain websites to the exclusions, enter the mask of their names. 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, including an empty, character (one).

Examples:

▫mask://*.com/ or .com—enable opening of all the domain .com websites;

▫mask://mail—enable opening of all websites whose names contain the “mail” word;

▫mask://???.com/ or .com—enable opening of all the domain .com websites, whose names consist of three characters or less.

Your input may be unified. Example : the http://www.example.com address string will be transformed into www.example.com.

2.Click Add to add the website to the list.

3.To remove an address from the list, select the corresponding item and click Remove.

4.To add other websites, repeat steps 1 to 2.
