Filter & Proxy Services - Overview

CIPAFilter provides a new and refreshing way to provide web content filtering. Our context-sensitive pornography filter will catch more pornography than any other filter, regardless of source, while virtually eliminating over blocking and false positives. CIPAFilter also provides a handful of other categories to help prevent students from accessing other inappropriate web sites."

  • Context-sensitive - even filters anonymous proxy server connections!
  • Eliminate over-blocking!
  • Automatically enforce Google Strict Image Search
  • Stop managing your porn filtering, save time for more important projects
  • Block additional sites as needed (several categories exist)
  • Authenticate users for Internet Access and provide Web Caching

CIPAFilter includes a transparent or manual proxy server. Most all features can be used in either mode, with little or no additional configuration.

When a user attempts to access a pornographic web page, and trips the filter, CIPAFilter will automatically generate an e-mail to the administrator. This e-mail is easily configured on the web page, and allows instant notification of users that are attempting to access pornography. The e-mail will include the username (if using Web Authentication), IP Address of the offending computer, optional computer name (with appropriate configuration), score of the tripped site, and the URL. The time it happened is the time that the e-mail was received. You can ignore the e-mails and refer to them as necessary, chose not to receive them. The trip also gets recorded in the web reporting database for that user or IP address.

 


Transparent Proxy

CIPAFilter is installed as the Firewall/Internet Gateway, or is routing the traffic either as a bridge or Ethernet router. Most features are transparent, and traffic is automatically processed as it passed through the unit.

  • Easy, transparent, no configuration necessary
  • Override filtering and download access by IP Address
  • Trip notifications and web reports only include IP Address

 


Manual Proxy

CIPAFilter is installed as a single node on the network. Computers are required to use a proxy server setting for the Internet browser, in order to direct traffic through the proxy (for filtering, virus scanning, etc.).

  • Can authenticate users for Internet access and downloads
  • Trip notification and web reports include the username and IP
