12.4 Content Filter Policy
Click SECURITY > CONTENT FILTER > Policy to display the following screen.
This screen lists groups of content filtering settings called policies. Content filtering policies
allow you to have different content filtering settings for different users or groups of users. For
example, you may want to block most employees from accessing finance or stock websites,
but allow the finance department to access these. You can set the ZyWALL to use external
database content filtering and select which web site categories to block and/or log.
You may find that a web site has not been accurately categorized or that a web site’s contents
have changed and the content filtering category needs to be updated. See
for how to submit the web site for review.

filtering (using an external database) service subscription.

category-based content filtering service.
License Active and the subscription expiration date display if you have
registered the ZyWALL and activated the category-based content filtering
service.
Trial Active and the trial subscription expiration date display if you have

service.
