==Site Blocking==
The <b>Site Blocking</b> service provides you with the possibility to create a Blacklist or Whitelist that filters out which websites a user on the local network can access.
The figure below is an example of the Site Blocking page and the table below provides information on the fields contained in that page:

<table class="nd-mantable">
<tr>
<th>Field</th>
<th>Value</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Enable</td>
<td>off | on; Default: <b>off</b></td>
<td>Turns Site Blocking on or off.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Mode</td>
<td>Blacklist | Whitelist; Default: <b>Whitelist</b></td>
<td>Mode of operation.
<ul>
<li><b>Whitelist</b> - allow every site included in the list and block everything else.</li>
<li><b>Blacklist</b> - block every site included in the list and allow everything else.</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Hosts list</td>
<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>
</tr>
<tr>
<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>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>off/on</td>
<td>off | on; Default: <b>on</b></td>
<td>Turns an entry of the list to an active or inactive state. Inactive entries are not considered to be a part of the list until they are activated.</td>
</tr>
</table>
==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>
The figure below is an example of the Proxy Based Content Blocker page and the table below provides information on the fields contained in that page:

<table class="nd-mantable">

<td>Blacklist | Whitelist; Default: <b>Blacklist</b></td>
<td>Mode of operation.
<ul>
<li><b>Whitelist</b> - allow every site included in the list and block everything else.</li>
<li><b>Blacklist</b> - block every site included in the list and allow everything else.</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>URL content</td>
<td>host; Default: <b>none</b></td>
<td>Website name or part of a website's name. The asterisk (<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>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
