Web Protection

Web Protection module scans the website content for specific words or phrases. It lets you block websites containing pornographic or offensive content. Administrators can use this feature to prevent employees from accessing non-work related websites during preferred duration.

Filtering Options

Status
This section lets you allow or block access to specific websites based on Filter Categories. You can set the status as Active or Block web access. Select the Block Web Access option if you want to block all the websites except the ones that have been listed in the Filter Categories. When you select this option, only Filtering Options and Pop-up Filter tabs are available.

Filter Categories
This section uses the following color codes for allowed and blocked websites.
Green
It represents an allowed websites category.
Red
It represents a blocked websites category.

The filter categories used in this section include categories like Pornography, Gambling, Chat, Alcohol, Violence, Drugs, Ratings_block_category, Websites Allowed, etc. You can also add or delete filter categories depending on your requirement.
