Setting the User Bypass Timeout for a Blocked Website

The following procedure explains how to set the time allowed for browsing after the user bypasses a URL filtering block. After the timeout expires, the user must bypass the block again.

Procedure

Step 1

Click Policies > Access Control and edit the policy.

Step 2

Select Advanced Settings from the More drop-down arrow at the end of the packet flow line.

Step 3

Click Edit (edit icon) next to General Settings.

If View (View button) appears instead, settings are inherited from an ancestor policy, or you do not have permission to modify the settings. If the configuration is unlocked, uncheck Inherit from base policy to enable editing.

Step 4

In the Allow an Interactive Block to bypass blocking for (seconds) field, enter the number of seconds that must elapse before the user bypass expires.

Setting this value to 0 means the interactive block response is displayed once and the user bypass never expires.

Step 5

Click OK.

Step 6

Click Save to save the policy.
