URLs skipped by WebGuard
All URLs in this list are excluded from WebGuard scans.
Input box
In this box you can input URLs (Internet addresses) to be excluded from WebGuard
scans, e.g. www.domainname.com. You can specify parts of the URL, using leading or
following dots to indicate the domain level: .domainname.com for all pages and all
subdomains of the domain. Indicate websites with any top-level domain (.com or .net)
with a following dot: domainname.. If you indicate a string without a leading or
concluding dot, the string is interpreted as a top-level domain, e.g. net for all NET
domains (www.domain.net).
Note
You can also use the wildcard * for any number of characters when specifying URLs. You
can also use leading or following dots in combination with wildcards to indicate the
domain level:
.domainname.*
*.domainname.com
.*name*.com (valid but not recommended)
Specifications without dots, like *name*, are interpreted as part of a top-level domain
and are not advisable.
Warning
All websites on the list of excluded URLs are downloaded into the Internet browser
without further scanning by the web filter or WebGuard: For all entries in the list of
excluded URLs, the entries in the web filter (see WebGuard::Scan::Blocked access) are
ignored. No scan for viruses and malware is performed. Only trusted URLs should
therefore be excluded from WebGuard scans.
Add
The button allows you to copy the URL entered in the input field (Internet address) to

selected.
