Defining a Filtering Policy

There are 80 categories that can be selected in a filtering policy. These categories range from Security Risks, which includes categories that should always be filtered, such as Malware and Phishing Sites, to categories that may need to be filtered based on appropriate content for the network, such as Peer to Peer or Streaming. One policy can be used for every site or a separate policy can be used for each network or circuit.

The DNS Policies are configured under Policies > DNS.

To create custom polices:

1. Do either of the following:
   • Click the Add button and create a new policy.
   • Click the Copy button to create a new policy from an existing one.
2. Select the categories you want to have filtered.
3. When you’re done, click Save.
