Block Unclassified Traffic in Linewize Filter

Updated
This article is for IT Support. 

  Important

Contact Linewize Support to safely block unclassified traffic without interrupting network infrastructure and application communications.

You can create custom collections of domains or subdomains of Unclassified websites and applications. These custom lists can be used to allow or block websites in the Unclassified Category. If you choose to use custom blocking, you will need to regularly check for blocked traffic and update your Allow Unclassified Website List.

  Tip

Unclassified websites and applications can be sent to Linewize Support for reclassification, or you can suggest a change in Linewize Filter.
