A URL filter is software that is part of a
proxy server and blocks undesired
web pages on the internet
based on the URL of the web pages.
The URL filter can be configured to block
certain types (categories) of web pages.
For example, the URL filter can block http://www.sex.com if you decide
to use the adult category of URLfilterDB.
