Web Filter Technical Specifications

Web Filter blocks user access to specific Internet websites. The application leverages a community maintained database which categorizes sites into 16 categories. These categories include pornography, gambling, and job search, for example. Web Filter enables you to choose among these categories to define web content control policies in your workplace. Also, Web Filter uses custom URL blocklists for hosts, domains, and file types to block additional content.

If Web Filter blocks web content that your company deems useful, you can use pass lists to override Web Filters's categorization.
