URL Blacklisting & Whitelisting On Chrome Browser

WeGuard empowers IT administrators with precise control over web traffic by facilitating URL whitelisting and blocking through managed device policies. Utilizing a two-tier configuration, administrators can implement a flexible, permissive model by populating a blocklist to restrict specific high-risk or non-work-related domains while keeping the rest of the internet accessible for knowledge workers. Alternatively, for dedicated-use devices like retail kiosks or logistics tablets, WeGuard enforces a strict "zero-trust" whitelist by deploying a universal wildcard block (["*"]) alongside an explicit list of allowed corporate URLs, effectively neutralizing threats like phishing and malware while ensuring endpoints remain secure and focused entirely on business operations.


Whitelist and Blacklist the URLs.

  • Log in to the WeGuard Console.

  • Navigate to "Policy" and select the "Policy."
