Internet Zones

References to Web policy content are only available when a Web Gateway is included in the peer group.

An Internet Zone is a grouping of URLs. Internet Zones are used as 'endpoints' in policy routes. For example, you could prevent all users in your network from accessing gambling sites by creating a policy route between Everyone and an internet zone containing the category Gambling Sites.

You can add categories of websites to an Internet Zone, or individual site addresses.

• URL categories

  URL categories specify specific types of website. A category contains a dynamically updated list of URLs which have been identified by Clearswift as members of that category. URL categories are automatically updated on a regular basis.

• Adding sites to an Internet Zone

  You can apply individual URLs to an Internet Zone. For example, you might want to include a website that has not been categorized. You can also import a list of URLs to a zone. See Working with Internet Zones for more information.

Use the Search text box to find Internet Zones. The search button simultaneously applies your search criteria to both the list of Internet Zones, and the entries contained within each Internet Zone. List searches are not case-sensitive, and you can search for a fragment, or part of a word.
