One way to allow certain sites to bypass filtering is to create "Exception URLs" for these sites. To create "Exception URLs" for approved sites, do the following:

• Open AllegroSurf Voyager.
• Select the "Filtering" item.
• Select "Approved Sites"
• Right mouse click in the right side, then select "New".
• Enter the site name and information
• Select "Exception URL" to bypass filtering for this site.

NOTE: Wildcards are not required here when using exception URL sites. For example .RhinoSoft.com allows anything at RhinoSoft.com.

The "Approved Sites" list works in two ways:

• Allow ONLY Sites - when not using the "Exception URL" check mark, then ONLY sites listed here will be viewable. This is used when you want only particular sites accessible by your client computers.
  
  
• Exceptions to Filtering - when using the "Exception URL" check mark, these sites are excluded from the content filtering rules you have defined.

Alternately:
An alternate method exists if certain types of filtering for a site is still desired. Follow these instructions to maintain some filtering on a site:

• Open AllegroSurf Voyager.
• Select "Filtering | Site Filter Settings".
• Right mouse click in the list, and then select "New..."
• In the Filter from Site dialog, enter the domain name or IP address of the site.
• Remove the undesired filtering for the site by clearing the gray check marks.
• When complete press the OK button.
