Restricting browsing to specific URLs
You can implement a "default deny" policy where only explicitly approved websites and URLs are accessible. It's ideal for high-security environments where internet access must be tightly controlled and every permitted site has been vetted for business necessity and security compliance.
In the AWS console, under URL filtering:
-
Navigate to Block list and select the toggle Block all URLs
-
Under Allow list, click Add URL to add a URL that will be allow listed for your end user. Add one entry per URL.
-
Click Save
