Surfing quotas

Surfing quotas allow you to allocate internet access time to your users.

Quotas allow access on a cyclical (repeat) or non-cyclical (one-time) basis. You can add quotas and specify the access time allowed, or use the default quotas. To edit a surfing quota, click Edit Edit button..

Note

When more than one quota applies to a user, the firewall restricts access according to the first policy that reaches its limit.

The following quota gives unlimited access for one week on a one-time basis.

Example settings for surfing quota policy.
