Overview
OmniShield allows for category based URL tuning through the Custom section.
Sometimes a URL is needed to be accessed that is in a blocked category.
Sometimes a URL needs to be blocked that is in an allowed category.
URL Overrides can do both.
This will allow for further customization of protection. While allowed, this does not remove Antivirus, IPS, etc from the connection.
For that see Security Override Rules.
