18.2 Web Blocking

(Available on Peplink Balance 380+)

18.2.1 Web Blocking

Enter an appropriate website address and Peplink Balance will block and disallow LAN/PPTP/Site-to-Site

VPN peer clients to access these websites. Exception can be added in the following sections - 18.2.2 and

18.2.3.

You may enter the wild card ".*" at the end of a domain name to block any web site with a host name

having the domain name in the middle.

For example, If you enter "foobar.*," then "www.foobar.com," "www.foobar.co.jp," or "foobar.co.uk" will be

blocked.

Placing the wild card in any other position is not supported.

The Peplink Balance will inspect and look for blocked domain names on all HTTP traffic. Secure web

(HTTPS) traffic is not supported.
