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
