Wildcards in url.txt

Post by Guest »

I have read the previous posts about using wildcards in the url.txt to block sites (i.e. hotmail.* etc) It was mentioned that it would be added in 2.05. Just wondering what the status is and if it si still possbile. We are having issues with students using msn webmessenger we have blocked the main address but people are still able to access it.

Wildcards are supported in PWB v2.05+ using regular expressions. What does your URL filter file contain and what web site URLs are you trying to block.
