Advertisements & Popups Category

I've looked up a couple of sites on the Astaro web filtering url test site to see what category they fall into, and I'm getting "Advertisements & Popups" for v7.

However, I can't seem to find this category in the content filtering categories.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this stuff blocked?

Thanks

Same problem here (ASG220, v7.101).
Sites like "a.as-eu1.falkag.net" should be listed under "Advertisements & Popups". That is what "http:/.../urlreport" says....
But: Where is this category???

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi,

nope, "Auctions/Classified Ads" is not correct. Astaro Url-Check says "Advertisements & Popups".
I just want to block popups and ads, not sites like "ebay.com".

The problem of the OP and mine is:
Why is the proper category "Advertisements & Popups" not showing up in proxy-config, but in the online-url-check at http://www.astaro.com/tool/urlreport?

Regards,
Thomas

Astaro (v7) still use "Cobion" as group names, but the URL-Report is "Surf Control".
That's the reason why you can't find the exact group name!

Surf Control => "Advertisements & Popups" is at Astaro (Cobion) => "Auctions / Classified Ads"

That's all I know...
