Overview | 8e6 Technologies ProxyBlocker specs

INTRODUCTORY SECTION OVERVIEW

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 console.
