Web proxy filtering
The NetManager includes a web-proxy which has powerful filtering. You may filter by:
- domain name
- arbitrary string in URL or domain
- Regular Expressions in URL or domain
- Time of day
- Day of week
- User or group
- Client computer IP address
- Client computer MAC address
- Connection method (e.g. GET vs POST vs CONNECT)
- Local address on NetManager
- Local port on NetManager
- File extension
Filtering is configured from within webadmin by going to Web Proxy > Filtering.
Configuring filtering is a two-stage process:
First, you create a number of filters (of the above types). These will give a yes/no answer when you try to access a website. For instance, if you have a domain block of facebook.com, then this will trigger whenever a user tries to visit facebook.com (or www.facebook.com).
Secondly, you need to use these filters to create access rules. Once a new rule is added (or edited) you can configure it by creating an English-like sentence from the drop-down menus. e.g. Blocked If Blacklist. You can combine filters to create more complex rules such as Block If Games And not Lunchtime.
