Timed Filters
With Timed Filters you can block access to specific websites, or the entire Internet on a custom schedule.
How to setup a timed filter for a single website:
- Log into your MyFilter Dashboard
- Go to Web Filter > Timed Filters
- Set your timezone.
- Enter the website to block.
- Just enter the last portion of the website. Example, to block access to http://www.facebook.com, just enter ‘facebook.com’.
- Set a daily or weekly schedule.
- Add.
- Save Filters.
Each timed filter corresponds to one time range and during that time range, the site in question will be blocked.
You can add multiple rules for a given site, so long as the ranges do not overlap.
Weekly Example: You create a Schedule Repeats Weekly rule to block facebook.com from 9 AM to 11 AM. This means that from Monday at 9am through Friday at 11 am facebook.com will be blocked.
Daily Example: You create a Schedule Repeats Daily rule to block facebook.com. This means that from 9 AM to 11 AM each day facebook.com be blocked.
