How CyberPatrol SiteSURV Web Filtering Works
Most home and small business computers access the Internet through a router or some other device that is connected to the Internet. A good example is the wireless router used at home. It connects all computers sharing a single ’access point’ to the Internet.
CyberPatrol’s Business Web filtering is a service that works with routers and other types of access points to monitor and filter Internet access. Every computer that accesses the Internet through a common router, PC, or server is protected.
Since this is a service, it requires no software installation on the PCs located behind the access point. Any PC that can normally access the Internet is filtered, including MAC and PCs.
In a normal installation, the access point connects PCs directly to the Internet. In CyberPatrol’s filtering mode, the access point called the Domain Name System (DNS) is changed to point to CyberPatrol’s filtering servers instead of the Internet.
The filtering server looks at all Internet web site requests and compares them to our list of categorized web sites to determine if the site you want is a good site (allowed) or an undesirable site (blocked).
Allowed sites are processed as if you were going directly to the Internet. Blocked sites are stopped and not allowed to be viewed. Instead, a page is displayed notifying you that the site has been blocked by CyberPatrol.
Managing Internet Access
Internet access is managed through a portal site that can be viewed from any computer that has an Internet connection. The Control Panel on the portal site gives you the following controls:
- Add and manage locations (access points)
- Select and create filtering profiles by category
- Create a custom Blocked/Allow list of web sites
- View activity graphs and charts
Parameters can be modified at any time. Additional access points can be added and managed under the same portal. Each product license lets you protect up to four access points.
