Submit a siteIf you find a site that you feel 8e6 should be blocking, let them know.

Library LookupUse this feature to check on whether or not a certain URL is being blocked by 8e6 and what category it falls under.
This feature also explains how to enter every possible combination of a site you want to block in the Exception or
By-Pass URL area of the filter.

Keyword AdditionThis feature will show you how to block end users from searching certain word formations (such as spoof)
and how to block it when they try to enter any formation of the word in a URL.

Safe Search EnginesThis feature is at your discetion. If you want to know why I suggest that you block certain search engines, call me. 330.339.1616

Custom Category List (as of 3/24/09)Why re-create the wheel? If you like a Custom Category that is already created, add that to your Group Profile.
Instead of adding the four different URL's for YouTube, just add the Custom Category to your Group Profile.
This really saves on the filter's processor time.

Alphabetical listing of URL's for 8e6 FilterAt this time there is no easy way to list what you have already added to your Exception or By-Pass URL list.
This feature basically gives you a long way to do it.
If your list begins to get too long, create a whitelist or a blacklist.
