        <td>text file; Default: <b>none</b></td>
 
        <td>Provides a possibility to upload a text file containing a list of hosts instead of adding hosts individually via the WebUI. Different hosts must be separated by line breaks (one host per line) in the text file.</td>

    <td>Hostname</td>
 
        <td>host; Default: <b>none</b></td>
 
        <td>Website name. The formats accepted are either <i>www.website.com</i> or <i>website.com</i>, i.e., the protocol and subdomains can't be specified. The rules will also be applicable for the subdomains of the specified site.</td>

==Proxy Based Content Blocker==
 
 
 
<b>Proxy Based Content Blocker</b> works in a similar manner to Site Blocking, except with Content Blocker you have the ability to filter out content with more versatility by using the <b>asterisk</b> (<b>*</b>) symbol instead of different extensions and phrases.
 
 
 
For example, instead of having to block multiple domains like <i>website.com</i>, <i>website.net</i>, <i>website.org</i> you can simply create an entry called <i>website.*</i>, which would block all websites whose names begin with <i>website.</i>

    <td>URL content</td>
 
        <td>host; Default: <b>none</b></td>
 
        <td>Website name or part of a website's name. The <b>*</b> symbol stands for anything so it can be used to block different variations of one website. For example:
 
            <ul>
 
                <li>The entry '<i>website.*</i>' would block:
 
                    <ul>
 
                        <li>website.<b>com</b></li>
 
                        <li>website.<b>net</b></li>
 
                        <li>website.<b>org</b></li>
