How to Unlock a Sonic Wall

The SonicWALL Content Filter Service is a program that blocks access to certain websites. If you should come across a situation where SonicWALL blocks a website you need access to, it is possible to reconfigure SonicWALL's content filtering to allow the site. If you have Administrative access to the computer, you can access SonicWALL and enter in a website (or websites) that you want to allow access to.

Things You'll Need

• Administrative access

Instructions

1. Click "Start" and select "SonicWALL" from "All Programs." Keep in mind that you need Administrative access to the computer to access "SonicWALL."

2. Select "Security Services," then select "Content Filtering." Click "Configure."

3. Check the box next to "Enable Allowed/Forbidden Domains" under "Allowed and Forbidden Domains."

4. Select "Add" under "Allowed Domains."

5. Under the "Domain Name" field, enter the domain name of the website you want to access (such as google.com) and click "OK."

Tips & Warnings

• You can add up to 256 entries to "Allowed Domains."
