Bypassing Web Filtering

You can configure the Web Security Service to bypass web filtering for certain sites, such as internal intranets and trusted resources. If you want to bypass sites for your own requirements, follow the instructions in this section. Otherwise, you can skip this section.

Note: This procedure describes how to bypass web filtering at the account level. If you plan to use group-level settings, see the WSS Admin Guide or the WSA Management Website User Guide.

To bypass web filtering:

1. Open a browser and enter the following URL:

   https://weblogin.webroot.com

   The system displays the Log In Window.

   

2. Log in using your WSS email address and password and click the Log in button.

   

   The system displays the Home tab.

   

3. From the Settings tab, select Accounts.

   

   The Accounts tab displays.

   

4. Click the DWP Configuration tab.

   

   The DWP Configuration tab displays.

5. Click the Edit button.

   

   The Edit button changes to a Save button.

   

6. In the Browser Bypass: Browser connects directly to the Internet field, located in the middle of the page, enter the sites stored in the browser's exception.
   • Use a semicolon to separate the site entries.
   • Wildcard entries (*.*) are allowed.
   • You do not need to enter http:// before each site name.

   

7. When you're done, click the Save button.

   

   It may take up to 15 minutes for the changes to take effect.
