I am trying to limit PWB to one site, our online catalog. In the catalog there are links to barnes & noble and amazon. I have tried the following without being able to block these sites:
;(1)
-www.amazon.com
-shop.barnesandnoble.com
+www.ourwebserver.com
;(2)
-amazon
-barnesandnoble
-bn
+www.ourwebserver.com
No matter what i try when i click on these links i still see these pages. Does the URL only block based on what is typed in the URL line?
Thanks in advance
cannot block barnes & noble or amazon links

The URL filter inspects the URL of the web site before allowing or disallowing the browse to the page. Try adding a "-all" to the top of the URL filter file.
-all
+www.ourwebserver.com
Also make sure the URL filter is enabled and the INI is pointed to the correct file.

Also note in PWB v2.05 there is a setting that will allow the first level of the link to procede from an allowed site and a setting that will allow the broser to procede.
