How do I start using GiliSoft WebLock?

Open WebLock and decide whether your main goal is family internet balance, school/shared-PC restrictions, or office browsing control.
Set a master password or administrator rule first so users cannot simply turn the internet policy off when they want unrestricted browsing.
Choose whether you want a simple block list, an allow-only rule set, time scheduling, or daily quota control before applying the policy.

How do I block selected websites?

Add distracting, harmful, or unwanted websites to the blocked-sites list. This is useful for social media, entertainment, adult content, or other browsing destinations you do not want available.
Apply the rule and test access from the browser to make sure the intended sites are blocked while normal Windows use remains unaffected.

How do I allow only approved websites?

Use the website allow list when you want to keep only approved learning, communication, or work services available and block everything else.
This setup is especially useful for study-only PCs, front-desk systems, office machines, classroom computers, or child-focused browsing environments.

How do I set internet schedules?

Create time windows for when internet access should be available and when it should be shut off, such as after bedtime, during lessons, or outside work hours.
Use scheduled control when you want the policy to work automatically instead of depending on someone to manually disable the internet every day.

How do I limit daily internet time?

Set a daily quota or time allowance so the internet remains available only for the number of minutes or hours you decide.
This is useful when a full-day block is too strict but you still want to reduce overuse, keep routines healthier, or keep browsing closer to work needs.

How do I use WebLock for family and office policies?

For families, combine site blocking, safe-site allow lists, and time quotas so children can still reach school and communication services while harmful or addictive content stays restricted.
For offices, keep approved work platforms available while limiting entertainment, streaming, gaming, and other non-work browsing that reduces focus.
