Configuring Blacklist
The BlacklistA list that contains information about what should be blocked by GFI WebMonitor. list is a list of sites, users and IP addresses that should always be blocked.
Blacklist contains sites that are always blocked
The Blacklist takes priority over all other policies. The Blacklist cannot be switched off, however when GFI WebMonitor is first installed, the Blacklist policy is inactive. This is because by default, the Blacklist does not contain any pre-configured websites.
IMPORTANT
In GFI WebMonitor, the Blacklist takes priority over the WhitelistA list that contains information about what should be allowed by GFI WebMonitor.. Therefore, if a site is listed both in the Whitelist and in the Blacklist, access to the site is blocked.
We recommend adding potentially unsafe sites to the Blacklist so that these are always blocked. These sites should include websites known for their malicious content or illegal material such as malware sites, bot nets and fraudulent websites.
NOTE
The Blacklist functions using an OR method. Any item added to the list will be blocked.
