Why each option
FortiGate's URL filtering capability supports precise traffic control by allowing the use of both plain text patterns and advanced regular expressions to match URLs.
FortiGate URL filters are highly flexible, supporting the use of literal text patterns and powerful regular expressions to identify and filter URLs based on specific components or structures.
This statement is incomplete because the 'Exempt' action is also available for URL filtering, in addition to Allow and Block.
A single Web Filter profile can contain multiple individual URL filter entries, but it typically does not allow adding multiple distinct URL Filter *lists*.
A FortiGuard Web Filtering Override applies to FortiGuard category ratings and does not override specific block actions defined in a local URL filter list, which are processed with higher precedence.
