WinProxy
Basic Site Filtering
WinProxy ships with 6 months of free basic
site filtering.* WinProxy's comprehensive
site filtering allows you to block access
to sites containing objectionable material.
Predefined lists are updated regularly and
cover sex, hate speech, criminal intent,
extreme or drugs. An additional 22 categories
can be added by ugrading to the SmartFilter.
Secure Computing
Smart Filter Control List
Internet access is managed and monitored
through the dynamic SmartFilter Control
List. The Control List provides the industry's
most comprehensive and proven database of
URLs available today, featuring more than
500,000 entries. Secure
Computing uses automated tools to continually
search the Internet for new sites and pages
that meet the content criteria for the 27
Control List categories. Candidate sites
are then added to the Control List, after
being viewed and approved by our Control
List technicians.
The 27 SmartFilter Control List categories
represent general content types, encompassing
a wide variety of materials. All sites defined
within each category are deemed potentially
inappropriate for today's typical workplace
or educational environment. In the broad
context of cultural norms and individual
taste, what is considered inappropriate
may be debatable. However, Secure Computing
considers the sites in the 27 Control List
categories to be non-business related and
unproductive for most employees or students
to view in a standard business or educational
environment.
Identifying sites for
inclusion in one of the SmartFilter categories
is an ongoing task, and Secure Computing
does not guarantee that all potential sites
within a given category have been identified.
Therefore, users are encouraged to consult
our SmartFilter
"where tool" to determine whether
a specific site is defined in the current
SmartFilter Control List. Sites may also
be submitted
by users for indexing.
