www.[WEBSITE].com 

*.[WEBSITE].com

Replacing [WEBSITE] with the desired web address.

 

Example: If you were going to add google to the trusted list you would put (Do not type the words italic)

 

Step 1 type:     www.google.com      into the "Add this website to the zone" URL box, then hit the [Add] button, then

Step 2 type:     *google.com              into the "Add this website to the zone" URL box, then hit the [Add] button

 

Or if you were to input HourDoc into the trusted sites you would input this

 

Step 1 type:     www.myhourdoc.com      into the "Add this website to the zone" URL box, then hit the [Add] button, then

Step 2 type:     *myhourdoc.com              into the "Add this website to the zone" URL box, then hit the [Add] button

 

 

The www stand's for the "World Wide Web" which is the standard for all home locations of websites. As time and websites became bigger they have expanded the use of anything before the first period. Perfect example would be google using maps.google.com or translate.google.com, due to the first portion not containing "www" the system would block the site so with the * added before the first period the system will allow different variations of the website.

Note: The system security will not be compromised in any way. Allowing different variations before the first period will not allow user's to access other websites.
