Managed Web Filter Server Highlights

Easy-to-use web filter server

We filter objectionable websites for users in the easiest and most cost-effective manner possible.  Our goal is to provide protection to users when browsing the web.  We also understand that most companies and schools do not have the staff or the time to spend figuring out what sites should be blocked in a web filter.  We provide web filtration without installing anything on individual client machines.   Only one windows machine has to install our software, and then a change to the DHCP server to issue that machine as a DNS server.  The entire process can be completed in less than 15 minutes.

 No more porn sites, no more casino sites, nothing objectionable on your network; we filter all of them.

Nothing To Install on clients - Nothing to Maintain

We filter web content differently than most companies.  Website domain names must be looked up through a DNS server before a web browser can download the site.  By handling those queries as a DNS server our web filter server is able to filter web content in a new and unique manner.  This also means that we are not limited to a specific platform and our web filter service can filter any machine capable of browsing the web including Windows, Macintosh, and Unix machines.  Our EmeraldShield webbot crawls thousands of sites per day looking for porn and other objectionable sites to filter.  We add these porn sites to our filter list four times per hour.  As new porn sites are found, we filter them.  We add over 10,000 new porn sites to our filtration list every week!  You do not have to worry about the filtration list.  We maintain it all through our filtration service.

Failover Built-in

The DNS system is a mature, time-tested standard that is designed with built-in failover.  Because our web filter service is based on DNS queries, you inherently receive the same failover protection.  Every operating system supports DNS lookups to resolve domain names.  Almost all support the use of two or more servers for this name lookup.

A large added benefit to this type of filtration is that we do not become a network bottleneck.  And for failover and redundancy more than one can be installed.  All modern operating systems have the ability to automatically fail over from one DNS server to another in the event of a failure.  In the event that a single DNS web filter server is unavailable all DNS requests the Operating System automatically falls back to one of the other servers with no disruption in internet browsing or filtration.  Most hardware solutions lack any backup or failover if the machine fails for any reason.
