URL Filter Conflict - Which Wins?

networkadmin — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 11:11:23 GMT

I've done some testing but I just want to be 100% sure of this.

Let's say I have a URL Profile that blocks shareware sites.

Let's say I create a custom URL category that contains shareware sites, and on that URL Profile I set my custom category to "allow".

It seems to allow the sites in my custom category.

This is what I want, I just would like to check what the rules/logic are as to which wins when there is any sort of conflict where a site is in multiple categories (either predefined, custom, or a mixture of each) that have different actions within a profile.

Thanks very much.

Hi,

your custom url category action will supercede the brightcloud category action. In a nutshell the logic is as follows:

allow list

block list

custom category

brightcloud category

thanks,

Stephen
