INTRODUCTORY SECTION CHAPTER 1: FILTERING OPERATIONS
8E6 TECHNOLOGIES, PROXYBLOCKER USER GUIDE 21
NOTE: If the minimum filtering level is not set up, global (default)
filtering settings will apply instead.
If an override account is established at the IP group level for
a member of a master IP group, filtering settings made for
that end user will override the minimum filtering level if the
global administrator sets the option to allow the minimum
filtering level to be bypassed. An override account estab-
lished at the global group level will automatically bypass the
minimum filtering level.
Filter Settings
Categories and service ports use the following settings to
specify how filtering will be executed:
• block - if a category or a service port is given a block
setting, users will be denied access to the URL set up as
“blocked”
• open - if a category or the filter segment detected on the
network is given an open (pass) setting, users will be
allowed access to the URL set up as “opened”
NOTE: Using the quota feature, access to an open category can
be restricted to a defined number of minutes.
• always allowed - if a category is given an always
allowed setting, the category is included in the user’s
white list and takes precedence over blocked categories
• warn - If a category is given a warn setting, a warning
page displays for the end user to warn him/her that
accessing the intended URL may be against established
policies and to proceed at his/her own risk
• filter - if a service port is given a filter setting, that port will
use filter settings created for library categories (block or
open settings) to determine whether users should be
denied or allowed access to that port
