URL Filtering Support

Review features supported by your URL Filtering subscription based on platform.
Advanced URL Filtering features are available on next-generation firewalls (virtual and on-premises), Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager), Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama), Cloud NGFW for AWS, and Cloud NGFW for Azure. However, next-generation firewalls and Cloud NGFW for Azure require an Advanced URL Filtering subscription, while all Prisma Access and Cloud NGFW for AWS licenses include Advanced URL Filtering capabilities.
Feature support depends on the platform and type of URL filtering license. Features that are only available with an Advanced URL Filtering license are indicated by an Advanced URL Filtering label.
The following table shows the compatibility of Advanced URL Filtering features with each Palo Alto Networks platform that supports URL Filtering.
