Chapter 1: Filtering Operations

Invisible Mode

The ProxyBlocker is set up in the invisible mode, indicating that the unit will filter all connections on the Ethernet between client PCs and the Internet, without stopping each IP packet on the same Ethernet segment. The unit will only intercept a session if an inappropriate request was submitted by a client. In this scenario, the ProxyBlocker returns a message to the client and server to deny the request, and a block page displays to deny the client access to the site or service.

Figure 1:1-1 depicts the invisible mode that removes the ProxyBlocker from any inclusion in the network connection path.
