How does the Website Whitelist work?
You can add and remove sites from the whitelist at any time in My Ooma by following these instructions:
Adding entries
- Log into My Ooma and navigate to Website Whitelist under the Security tab
- Click the “+Add to Whitelist” button and enter the website that you wish to allow (e.g. “goodwebsite.com”). Your changes will be saved as soon as the entry is complete
- Press the Enter key to move on to a new line and add another website
Removing entries
- Log into My Ooma and navigate to Website Whitelist under the Security tab
- Check the box beside the website or websites that you wish to remove from the Website Whitelist
- Click the “Delete Selected” button to delete these sites from the whitelist
Can I add multiple entries at one time to the Website Whitelist?
There is no way to copy and paste multiple entries to the whitelist at this time. Entries must be added one at a time on individual lines.
How long does it take for a website to become accessible once it has been added to the Website Whitelist?
Websites that you have not attempted to visit should be available right away once they are added to your Website Whitelist. If you have already attempted to visit a website and found it blocked by Content Filtering, then it can take up to 30 seconds for the site to become available once you have added it to your Website Whitelist.
How many entries can the Website Whitelist have?
There is no limit to the number of entries that the Website Whitelist may have.
