Insert a list of URLs in the content filtering of an ATP200

JavierG

Hi everyone,

I need to insert about 200 URLs to block into the content filtering profile of a ZYXEL ATP200. How should I do it if possible?

Thank you and best regards.

Hi @JavierG ,

You can add a large number of blocked URLs by using the CLI for bulk importing. Please refer the steps as below:

1) Type or paste the URLs into notepad ++

2) Enter config mode and paste the list of URLs

Note: At line 4, copy the URL list from Notepad++, then right-click in the command line to paste all URLs.

Router> configure terminal

Router(config)# threat-website forbid-list activate

Router(config)# threat-website forbid

Router(Host)# www.google.com

Router(Host)# www.facebook.com

Router(Host)# www.instagram.com

Router(Host)# exit

Router(config)# write

Verification

Go to Configuration > Security Service > Reputation Filter > URL Threat Filter > Block List

Hello,

thank you for the quick response. I need to block a list of 400 URL addresses, but only for some users. Is it possible to do this?

Thank you

Reputation Filter applies to all but you can do the block list by content filter then with a policy control apply the Profile for given source IP's or if by VPN the user name.

Hi @JavierG ,

You can implement your request using Content Filtering. Please check which categories your 400 URLs belong to, then follow the steps in this article to configure the filtering.
Regarding to Security Policy step, please add a policy for the specific user group you want to block. Configuration Path: Configuration > Security Policy > Policy Control > Click Add

Hi,

checking which category 400 records belong to is a task that would take too much time, hence the inquiry to see if it can be done all at once.

Best regards.

Hi @FJGH ,

Currently, there is no feature that allows you to add 400 URLs to the block list at the same time and then block them for specific users only.
