[KB8365] Unblock a safe website on an endpoint using ESET PROTECT or ESET PROTECT On-Prem

Issue

  • A website that you know to be safe is being blocked by Web Access Protection.
  • Exclude a web address from being reported by Web Access Protection
  • Allow access to a known safe website.

Solution

 Endpoint users: Perform these steps on individual client workstations

Before excluding a website

Excluding a website poses a security risk. An experienced system administrator can configure this if instructed by ESET Technical Support.

Best practices:

  • Exclude a website for a specific period only.
  • Do not exclude websites where you provide sensitive information (such as banking websites).
  • Do not disable real-time file system protection while downloading and running files from excluded websites.
  • Report miscategorization if you think ESET should not block a specific website.
  1. Open ESET PROTECT or ESET PROTECT On-Prem Web Console in your web browser and log in.
