Conclusion

When Content Blocking is enabled, SureLock/SureFox scans the content of websites that are allowed under Manage Websites. If any of the configured blocked keywords are found on the webpage, access to that website is blocked. This ensures that users cannot access web pages containing restricted content, even if the website itself is included in the allowed websites list.
