==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>Website name or part of a website name that is to be added to the list. The '''*''' symbol can stand for anything. In the given example the URL content is '''*.9gag.*''', which means it blocks all variation of that site's hostname, i.e., '''9gag.com, www.9gag.com, 9gag.net, www.9gag.org,''' etc., while a '''www.9gag.com''' entry would only block that specific hostname</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>
<li>etc.</li>
