Use the IPv4 Address and Domain Restrictions feature page to define and manage rules that allow or deny access to content for a specific IPv4 address, a range of IPv4 addresses, or a domain name or names.

To configure restrictions based on domain names, you must first enable domain name restrictions by clicking Edit Feature Settings in the task list and by setting the Enable domain name restrictions option.

Revert to Parent

View Ordered List

Displays the list in order of configuration. When you select the ordered list format, you can only move items up and down in the list. Other actions in the Actions pane do not appear until you select the unordered list format.

Move Up

Moves a selected item up in the list. This action is available only when you view items in the ordered list format.

Note

When items in the list are reordered at a child level, the child will no longer inherit settings from the parent level (including any items that are added to or removed from the list at the parent level) after the list is reordered. If you want to inherit settings from a parent level, you must revert all the changes at the child level by using the Revert to Inherited action in the Actions pane.

Move Down

Moves a selected item down in the list. This action is available only when you view items in the ordered list format.

Note

When items in the list are reordered at a child level, the child will no longer inherit settings from the parent level (including any items that are added to or removed from the list at the parent level) after the list is reordered. If you want to inherit settings from a parent level, you must revert all the changes at the child level by using the Revert to Inherited action in the Actions pane.

View Unordered List
