Internet availability

Use this option to configure time-based policy enforcement. The default setting is to allow Internet access at all times, although you can apply user and group-based exceptions (see User and group exceptions for time-based access control).

Alternatively, you can restrict all access by time and display an appropriate block page when access is unavailable. There are 2 formats for this:

1. Block access for the duration of a defined period (for example, during working hours).
2. Block access outside a defined period (for example, allowing users to access the Internet only during their lunch period).

The drop-down list contains the standard time periods and any custom periods you have set up (see Time periods).
