FAQ: How do you allow access to particular website while keeping its URL category blocked ?

Expand / Collapse


  • Question

    Vital Security for Web provides a flexible set of policy rules that take actions based on various content types.

    A user may want to set blocking for a specific URL category; for example, web-based mail services.
    It may be necessary however, to make exceptions for users required to use web-based mail for business.

    This article describes how to allow access to Gmail web-based mail without allowing access to the global web-based mail category.


  • Answer

    A single rule in a Finjan policy takes a specific action (allow/block/coach) based on the condition(s) set for this particular rule.

    There may be more than one condition for a rule. This logic helps us reach the correct combination of conditions to allow access to Gmail.

    One of required conditions is for content to belong to a specific URL category. In this case, web-based email:




    Another required condition is that the content is sent or received from the URL listed in a 'White List':







    The Action set by this rule is taken only if the content meets both conditions.
    Thus, whole web-mail categories may still be blocked globally while allowing specific user(s) to access Gmail.
