Creating a URL List

Create a list of URLs you can use to build rules in a Network Firewall policy.

Before you can create a URL list in a policy, you must first create a policy.

Create URL lists to allow or deny traffic to a group of URLs. You can create up to 1,000 URL lists in a policy. Each list can contain a maximum of 1,000 URLs. The total maximum number of URLs allowed in a policy is 25,000. Each URL is entered on its own line within the list. You can use wildcards like asterisks (*) and caret (^) in a URL to customize matching. Don't enter protocol information like "http://" or "https://". See Creating Network Firewall Policy Components for more information.

You can create URL lists one at a time using the following instructions, or you can import many at once using a .json file. See Bulk Importing Network Firewall Policy Components more information.
