147
Allow HTML JavaScript pop-up windows
Automatic opening of new browser windows — usually pop-up windows with ad-
vertisements.
This option enables/blocks the window.open() method in scripts
Allow <applet> HTML tags
HTML <applet> tags (Java Applet)
Allow cross-domain referrer
This option enables/disables the Referrer item included in an HTTP header.
The Referer item includes pages that have been viewed prior to the current page.
If the Allow inter-domain referrer is off, Referrer items that include a server name
different from the current HTTP request will be blocked.
The Cross-domain referrer function protects users’ privacy (the Referrer item can
be monitored to see which pages are opened by each user).
10.4 Content Rating System (ISS OrangeWeb Filter)
The ISS OrangeWeb Filter module enables WinRoute to rate Web page content. Each
page is sorted into predefined categories. Access to the page will be either permitted or
denied according to this classification.
ISS OrangeWeb Filter uses a dynamic worldwide database which includes URLs and clas-
sification of Web pages. This database is maintained by special servers that perform
page ratings. Whenever a user attempts to access a Web page, WinRoute sends a request
on the page rating. According to the classification of the page the user will be either
allowed or denied to access the page. To speed up URL rating the data that have been
once acquired can be stored in the cache and kept for a certain period.
Notes:
1. The ISS OrangeWeb Filter module was designed and tested especially on pages in
English. Efficiency of its appliance on non-English pages is lower (about 70 % of the
full efficiency).
2. A special license is associated with ISS OrangeWeb Filter. Unless WinRoute includes
an ISS OrangeWeb Filter license, then the module behaves as a trial version only (this
means that it is automatically disabled after 30 days from the WinRoute installation
and options in the ISS OrangeWeb Filter tab will not be available). For detailed
information about the licensing policy, read chapter
44.
3. If the Internet connection is provided by a dial-up, it is not recommended to use ISS
OrangeWeb Filter.
