Hi Bill
Just gave Puresight a quick once over and the allow list for Puresight plugin is working fine. I agree from the helpfile it is a little light on detail which we will look at, but here is the main points:
(these apply to both Allow and Ban tabs)
1. If you enter a specific URL in the list (e.g
www.wingate.com) anytime that URL or a URL containing
www.Wingate.com is requested(e.g
www.wingate.com/features/sample.html). it will be affected
So as Larry suggested less is better, as sites will often redirect or append most basic URLS when they are requested.
For example if I enter
www.sex.com from here in New Zealand the URL is changed by the Webserver to
www.sex.com/newzealand, but because I had entered simply sex.com on the Ban tab, this site is also blocked.
2. If you add single words to the allow/ban lists, URL'S containing these words will also be affected, so as an example, entering "com" in the ban list will result in blocking all .com sites.
3. If there are already sites specifically banned in the Banned sites of the WWW proxy service, this will overide any sites that you may put in the "allow" tab of Puresight filter.
Hope this helps
