Hi
To have a specific website blocked, you can create a Custom URL Category and apply it to your Access Policies and set that action to block . You can do this by:
. Log into the WSA
. Under Web Security Manager -> Custom URL Categories
. Add Custom Category
. Provide it a name
. Include the websites you'd like to specifically block
**Example would be for www.google.com: .google.com, google.com (note this method will match the sub domains for www.google.com)
. Navigate to your Access Policies
. Click within the URL Filtering Column for the Access Policy that
fits the users you wish to apply this to
. Select Custom Categories
. Include In Policy
. Set Action to Block
. Submit and commit your changes
