4. Use the URL Filter To Allow list to choose a filter file that contains the URLs you want the proxy server to support.

5. Use the URL Filter To Deny list to choose a filter file that contains the URLs to which you want the proxy server to deny access.

6. Choose the text you want the proxy server to return to clients who request a denied URL.

   • Send the default “Forbidden” response that the proxy generates.

     • Send a text or HTML file with customized text. Type the absolute path to this file in the text box.

7. Click OK.
