<!---------------------------DEVICE DETAILS---------------------------->
The '''Web Filter''' service allows you to set up lists of wanted or unwanted websites ('''Blacklists''' or '''Whitelists'''). This chapter is a summary of RUT routers' '''Web Filter''' function.

| file_site_blocking              = Networking_rutxxx_manual_web_filter_site_blocking_v1.png
The '''Site Blocking''' tab provides you with the possibility to create a Blacklist or Whitelist that filters out which websites that a local network user can access. Access to sites included in the Blacklist is blocked; access to sites included in the Whitelist is allowed while everything else (not included) is blocked. You can choose only one of these options.

==Proxy Based Content Blocker==
 
 
 
'''Proxy Based Content Blocker''' 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 '''asterisk''' ('''*''') symbol instead of different extensions and phrases. For example, instead of having to block multiple domains like ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>website.com<nowiki>'</nowiki>'', ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>website.net<nowiki>'</nowiki>'', ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>website.org<nowiki>'</nowiki>'' you can simply create an entry called ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>website.*<nowiki>'</nowiki>'', which would block all websites whose names begin with ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>website.<nowiki>'</nowiki>''
