Configure various advanced components of the DrawBridge, including technical settings for the Redwood filter engine.

ACLs and Auth

Advanced ACL, Authentication, and Page Content Modification settings

Advanced ACLs

Advanced ACLs act on the network request (not the response).

A list view is shown by default. Click the name of an ACL to view the individual ACL record.

ACL Record View

An ACL record contains the following parameters:

Parameter Setting About
Level Foundation, Standard, Override Defines the priority ruleset group of this rule
Status Active or Inactive This record is available/functional
Synchronized Yes or No This record is globally-available (Yes) or local-only (No).

List views are shown for associated:

  • Advanced ACL Patterns -- what triggers this ACL; rules to match traffic. Add a pattern with the Add button at the top of the list.
  • Advanced ACL Actions -- what this ACL will do to matching traffic. Add an action with the Add button at the top of the list.

Record header buttons:

  • Add an Advanced ACL record with the blue + Create ACL button
  • Edit an Advanced ACL record with the green pencil Update ACL button
  • "Waterdrop" menu button:
    • New ACL Pattern: Add a new ACL Pattern to this record

    • Mark to Resync: flag this record in the background to be included in the next sync run

Note that records wich are built-in/included with the DrawBridge cannot be edited or deleted, therefore those buttons are not available for those record types.

Also note that only relevant Sync Menu items are displayed, which means fewer options may be visible than mentioned here.

A list view is shown by default. Add a new Page Pruner rule with the blue + Create Page Pruners button in the upper right of the list view.
