Configure Computers
Internet blocking (filtering) allows you to enforce Internet use policy by preventing users from accessing all or portions of the Internet.
When you block users from the Internet, they cannot display the web page at the domain that is blocked, communicate at the port that is blocked, or communicate with a Chat/IM contact who is blocked.
Alternatively, you can allow users access to ONLY the web sites, Chat/IM, and other communication ports that you specify and no others. For example, you could limit Internet access to ONLY online references, a work-related web server, a specific FTP domain, in-house MSN messaging, and that's it.
Spector 360 provides two methods for blocking access to web sites:
Server Web Filtering by domain is applied by the Web Filter Server to any or all computers on the network and can be changed without applying new Client settings. More...
Local Web Site Blocking by domain is specified in the Client Settings. More...
Other types of blocking available through Client Settings are:
Block Internet access and types of Chat/IM at the port. More...
Block during specific times (hour and day). More...
Block Chat or Instant Message communication with specific contacts. More...
Block the Internet for specific users. More...
A Client computer uses only one method of blocking web sites at a time. If you use Server Web Filtering, you can still block Internet access at ports and block particular Chat/IM contacts. It's possible to set up Client-side blocking as a backup to Server Web Filtering. If a Client cannot access the Web Filter Server (is off the network), Client web site blocking will be used.
