How do I create exceptions that override my Category Blocking?

Exceptions are done with the use of whitelisting and blacklisting the desired Domain, host and IP’s.

The whitelisting and blacklisting option empowers you to do more manual override configurations, over and above the category blocking policies.

For example, blocking the movies category and only allowing Netflix access by adding netflix.com to the whitelist, or by allowing the category social media and only blocking facebook.com by adding it to the blacklist.
