URL filtering

You enabled URL filtering in a protection plan and added a website to Blocked list.

The blocked website opens completely or partially in Google Chrome on the protected machine, while being correctly blocked in other browsers.

Symptoms

You add files or folders located on a network resource to the list of Exclusions in a Protection plan or a URL Filtering plan. 

As a result, the network path is not excluded.

Cause

Limitation of the product: Files/folders located on a network path cannot be added to Exclusions (Trusted List and Blocked List) in a Protection plan and a URL Filtering plan.

Solution

Implementing support is considered for future versions of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud product.

Why do I have a false detection?

With Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office, Acronis Cyber Protect you gain real-time protection with AI-based static and behavioral heuristic antivirus, antimalware, antiransomware, and anticryptojacking technologies.
