Content Filtering Trusted Domains

If I add domains to the trusted list, does the firewall know to not trust all the rest that are not in the trusted list?  Would that be the default behavior?  My hope is that if I add a trusted domain then everything else is blocked.  If this isn't the case, what would I add to the blocked keywords to make sure that only trusted domains are allowed?  Is there a simple way to block the rest?

    Hello hhertz, 

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    Trusted domains are domain names that when they are added they will be bypassed by the Keyword filtering. An example given on one of our Help tools on the UI of our routers: If yahoo is added to the Blocked Keywords list and www.yahoo.com is added to the Trusted Domain list, then www.yahoo.com will be allowed but mail.yahoo.com will not be allowed. So, to answer your question it will depend on what you have defined on the blocked keyword list and the trusted domain list.

      Hi,

      In the FV338.. the limit is 64 keyword (trusted domain) and it's short, is it the same in the fvs336 ?

      Thanks

        Hello nextinfra,

         

        Yes, it is the same for all of the models. Up to 64 keywords can be added to the list. If there is a need to add more keywords and if a lot of users think it is necessary, you can forward it as a feature request/improvement. 

         

        Thanks,
