Overview
The ProxyBlocker’s Administrator console is used by the
global administrator—and group administrator, as
required—to configure the ProxyBlocker server to perform
the following basic functions:
filter URLs (Web addresses) on the Internet
log traffic on the Internet
and, if applicable for your organization:
block instant messaging and peer-to-peer services
authenticate users via the existing authentication system
on the network
NOTE: See the 8e6 ProxyBlocker Authentication User Guide at
http://www.8e6.com/docs/pba_auth_ug.pdf for information on
setting up and using authentication.
To help you become familiar with the ProxyBlocker and how
it functions on the network, Chapter 1 of this section of the
User Guide provides an overview on filtering. Chapter 2
gives insight into Web site access logging, and instant
messaging and peer-to-peer setup procedures. Chapter 3
includes details on getting started, with log in and log out
procedures, and tips on navigating the Administrator
