Web filtering, also known as web content filtering or URL filtering, is a cybersecurity solution that controls and manages the websites, web pages, and online content users can access across a network or on individual devices. It works by inspecting user requests and comparing them against defined security policies or rules, then automatically allowing or blocking access in real time.

 

Examples of Web Filtering

  • DNS-based Filtering
  • URL Filtering
  • Content Filtering
  • Category Filtering
  • Keyword Filtering
  • IP Filtering
  • Proxy Filtering
