Unrated Web Pages

Select Block to prevent users from accessing web pages that the

external database content filtering has not categorized.
When the external database content filtering blocks access to a web

page, it displays the denied access message that you configured in the

CONTENT FILTER General screen along with the category of the

blocked web page.
Select Log to record attempts to access web pages that are not

categorized.

When Content Filter

Server Is Unavailable

Select Block to block access to any requested web page if the external

content filtering database is unavailable. The following are possible

causes:
There is no response from the external content filtering server within the

time period specified in the Content Filter Server Unavailable Timeout

field.
The ZyWALL is not able to resolve the domain name of the external

content filtering database.
There is an error response from the external content filtering database.

This can be caused by an expired content filtering registration (External

content filtering’s license key is invalid”).
Select Log to record attempts to access web pages that occur when the

external content filtering database is unavailable.

Content Filter Server

Unavailable Timeout

Specify a number of seconds (1 to 30) for the ZyWALL to wait for a

response from the external content filtering server. If there is still no

response by the time this period expires, the ZyWALL blocks or allows

access to the requested web page based on the setting in the Block

When Content Filter Server Is Unavailable field.
