Web Filter
Use website filtering to block users from accessing certain websites based on specific URLs. You can create a blacklist or a whitelist of URLs.
When a blacklist is applied, any sites on the blacklist will redirect the device user to the default URL for blocked websites or a blank page, depending on your settings.
A whitelist is more restrictive than a blacklist. The device user can only access the sites specified on the whitelist. Any attempt by the device user to access non-whitelisted sites will redirect the device user to the default URL or a blank page, depending on your settings. Redirect URLs are automatically whitelisted.
You cannot apply both a blacklist and a whitelist within the same profile configuration. If a device receives a blacklist and a whitelist from two different profiles, the whitelist will apply, overriding the blacklist. If a device receives multiple blacklists or multiple whitelists from different profiles, then the websites (and exceptions) from all profiles are unioned.
