First you add the websites you want to allow access to the default Exclusions category, then create a new category that you can name for example All others and add a new website item that only contains the wildcard character *. After you have set those up, you then should disable the default rules Allow sites and Blocked sites. Now you create two new rules, the first that allows website access, which you can do as follows: Name it for example My allowed sites, then under categories add only the Exclusions category, lastly go to restrictions section and add Everyone then set the restriction to Allow. Now create a second rule and give it a name like Block all others and add the previously created category All others, then add the Everyone object and set the restriction to Block.

After you have done all that make sure the allow rule is above the block rule, it should look like the following screenshots to give you an idea.

Hi, any chance of re-uploading those images? They come through as 404s.

Thanks
