Setup:Keywords
-
Block access to Internet sites according to your specified keywords
-- words or word fragments that Cyber Patrol looks for in an Internet
address. If Cyber Patrol finds the keyword in an address, it blocks the site.
- Specify keyword exceptions --
terms that you want to allow in an Internet address, but which might
be blocked because of its similarity to a blocked keyword.
Keyword Blocking
Cyber Patrol can block Web sites, Newsgroups, and IRC Chat addresses
if their addresses contain one or more keywords that you specify. The
keyword can be a word ("sex") or a string of characters ("xxx").
You select which part of the address Cyber Patrol searches for the
keyword: URL, Server,
or Directory:

Hint:
If you are not sure whether the keyword might appear within the
Server name or Directory name, select URL
contains for this option. This way, the site will be blocked
if the keyword appears anywhere in an address.
You also select whether Cyber Patrol searches for the keyword at the
beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the selected part.
Examples of keyword blocking
