NxFilter Tutorial

GUI - Whitelist
You can create either domain or keyword based whitelist/blacklist here.


Whitelist > Domain
Domain based whitelist/blacklist. You can bypass or block a specific domain in a URL without setting up a policy.
You can use an asterisk to include subdomains.
    ex) *.nxfilter.org

You can set the following flags,

  • Bypass Authentication : This allows your users to access a site without authentication.
  • Bypass Filtering : This allows you to exclude a domain from your filtering.
  • Bypass Logging : This allows you to bypass logging for domains that generate too much log data.
  • Admin Block : This allows you to block a domain without creating a policy. This option overrides 'Bypass Filtering'.
  • Drop Packet : This option completely ignores and does not respond to requests for a specific domain.


Whitelist > Keyword
Keyword based whitelist/blakclist. You can bypass or block domains by keyword matching.
You can use an asterisk as a wildcard in a keyword.
    ex) porn*site


Whitelist > Temporary
You can create temporary whitelist rules by user and group.
You also can make it global and permanent.
