Why each option
FortiGate URL Filtering offers multiple actions to manage web access, including allowing, blocking, or exempting specific URLs from further web filtering checks.
This statement is incomplete as 'Exempt' is also an available action for URL filtering, offering more control than just Allow and Block.
A single Web Filter profile typically references one URL Filter list or allows individual URL entries, but does not support adding multiple distinct URL Filter *lists*.
A FortiGuard Web Filtering Override applies to FortiGuard category-based filtering and does not override block actions defined in a local URL filter list, which are processed with higher precedence.
FortiGate URL filtering provides granular control with three primary actions: Allow (permits traffic matching the URL), Block (denies traffic matching the URL), and Exempt (allows traffic to bypass subsequent web filtering, such as FortiGuard categories).
