Service control Pattern Blocking
This feature complements our existing suite of pattern filtering (Games, Proxy, Instant Messaging, and Peer-to-Peer).
To enable pattern filtering, make sure that "Pattern blocking" is turned ON in System > Control > Filter. Next, make sure that you're blocking the correct categories (Games, Proxy, Instant Messaging, and Peer-to-Peer) in your profile.
(Likewise, if you want to block Web-based Proxies, Instant Messaging, or Peer-to-peer traffic, be sure that you're blocking those categories, respectively).
To determine whether a request got blocked based on URL filtering or by PATTERN, look for the word "pattern" as the categorization method in the Realtime Traffic Log, or in your Real-Time Probe.
