Block Outbound HTTP HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) is the protocol used to

transfer information to and from Web sites. HTTP Blocking allows
for blocking of specific HTTP commands going outbound on the

Mobility 5181 Access Point

WAN port. HTTP blocks

commands on port 80 only.
The Block Outbound HTTP option allows blocking of the following
(user selectable) outgoing HTTP requests:
Web Proxy - Blocks the use of Web proxies by clients
ActiveX - Blocks all outgoing ActiveX requests by clients. Selecting
ActiveX only blocks traffic (scripting language) with an .ocx
extension.

Block Outbound URL
Extensions

Enter a URL extension or file name per line in the format of
filename.ext. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard in place of
the filename to block all files with a specific extension.

Block Outbound

SMTP commands. Check the box next to the command to disable
that command when using SMTP across the Mobility 5181 Access
Point’s WAN port.
