Filtering Websites by Category

If the Web Filtering setting on the Site Categories subtab is set to Filter Websites, you can use the Site Categories subtab to refine your policy.

Note: Settings on the Site Categories subtab are enabled if you purchased the Web Filtering feature. See Subscription types under Implementing Policies.

You can allow, block, or coach sites according to category, for a specific hourly time period:

Allowed:
  • The Web Security Service allows access to these sites.
  • Allowed sites are identified by green cells. Clicking twice on an allowed/green cell changes it to blocked/red.
Coached:
  • Users who access coached sites see a warning page explaining the policy. To continue access, the user must enter a name and password.
  • You specify the amount of time a user can spend on a site before the coaching message appears again.
  • Coached sites are identified by yellow cells. Clicking once on a coached/yellow cell changes it to blocked/red. Clicking twice on a coached/yellow cell changes it to allowed/green.
  • If user authentication is done in the background through the Desktop Web Proxy, no login page is presented, but user activity is recorded. Coached pages have time limits, after which the warning page reappears.
    Note: If a user accesses secure sites (HTTPS), the coaching page does not appear - the secure site opens directly instead. To maintain security, consider blocking secure sites instead of coaching them.
Blocked:
  • Users cannot access blocked sites. The Web Security Service presents a warning page explaining the policy.
  • Blocked sites are identified by red cells. Clicking once on a blocked/red cell changes it to allowed/green.
    Note: If a user tries to access a blocked site using HTTPS, the server refuses the connection and a message notifies the user.

Note: To check how Webroot categorized a specific website, see Determining a URL's Classification.

To block, coach, or allow sites by category:

  • On thePolicies tab, create a new policy or open an existing policy in Edit mode. See Creating Policies.
    The Site Categories subtab displays.
  • From the Web Filtering drop-down menu, select one of the following:
    • Allow All Websites - Allows users to browse any and all websites.
    • Block All Websites - Does not allow users to browse any websites.
    • Filter Websites - Allows or blocks users from browinsg websites based on additional settings.
  • Do one of the following:
    • If you selected Allow All Websites or Block All Websites, you are done and can click Save.
    • If you selected Filter Websites, continue with the next step.
  • From the Hourly URL Filtering Options grid at the bottom of the panel, select the time periods in which to enforce the specific filtering categories.

  • Click in one or more cells under individual time segments, or click in the leftmost cell of a row to affect the entire 24-hour period.
    If the row is for a parent category, its subcategories are also changed. If the row is for a subcategory, only that subcategory is changed.

    Cells that appear in orange at the category level include subcategories with mixed settings of allowed, coached, and blocked sites. You can click the folder icon on the left to see the subcategories and create specific settings for them.

    The numbered columns represent hourly time segments during which the policy is enforced:

    • The number on the column header is the start of the hour. For example, '0' means '12 midnight.'
    • A time segment of '0' means from 'midnight to 1:00 a.m.,' and '10' means from '10 to 11 a.m.' Thus, if you click in any cell under 10, the policy is applied from 10 to 11 in the morning.
    • The first column (the row selection column) headed by an asterisk (*) affects the entire row. If you click a cell in this column, the entire 24-hour period for that row changes color.
  • See the following sections for more information about web filtering:
    • Order of precedence
    • Category descriptions
  • When you're done, click Save.

Note: If a web page contains multiple sections that you have blocked and coached, the web page does not load as usual. For example, areas rendering blocked sites display the Web Security Service blocked page instead. Blocked images are not displayed.

Order of precedence

The order of precedence affects websites that belong to multiple categories.

  • In blocking websites, site overrides take precedence over what you define in Site Categories. See Overriding Website Blocking.
  • If no site overrides are defined, blocking takes precedence over coaching, as defined on the Site Categories subtab.
    For example, if a site belongs to both a blocked category and a coached or allowed category, users accessing that site are blocked. In this case, after configuring blocking at the category or subcategory level, you can access the Site Overrides subtab to add sites that are exempt from the blocking or coaching policy.

Category descriptions

The following tables provide IDs and descriptions of the Web Security Service categories. Because the table matches the groupings on the Management Portal, the IDs are not necessarily listed in numerical order. IDs are used for site overrides.

Note: Websites can belong to multiple categories. Often, a site's features categorize them in a group, but a differentiating feature results in their also being categorized in another group. For example, the Financial Services category might include stock information, but Individual Stock Advice and Tools is a separate category.
