Watchguard SOHO Specification sheet

WatchGuard SOHO

WebBlocker

WatchGuard SOHO WebBlocker is an optional feature of the WatchGuard

SOHO and SOHOtc that provides Web site filtering capabilities. It enables

you to exert fine control over the types of Web sites users on your private

network are allowed to view.

How WebBlocker Works

WebBlocker relies on a URL database built and maintained by The Learn-

ing Company for the CyberPatrol. The WebBlocker database contains

many thousands of IP addresses and directories. These addresses are

divided into categories based on content such as Drug Culture, Intoler-

ance, or Sexual Acts.

WatchGuard copies the database to our Web site at regular intervals.

Every time a user on your private network attempts to reach an Internet

Web site, the SOHO queries our database and determines whether or not

to block the site. Depending on conditions, the SOHO decides whether or

not to block the site:

2 WatchGuard SOHO

Web Site Not in CyberPatrol List

If the site is not in our database, the Web browser opens the page for

viewing.

Web Site in CyberPatrol List

If the site is in our database at WatchGuard, the SOHO checks whether

or not you have chosen to block that type (or category) of site. When

the category is blocked, the browser displays a page informing the

user that the site is unavailable for viewing. If the category is not

blocked, the Web browser opens the page for viewing.

WatchGuard WebBlocker Database Unavailable

If for any reason, the WatchGuard WebBlocker database is unavailable,

for example if there is briefly a problem between your ISP and the

nearest WatchGuard server, the browser displays a page informing the

user that the site is unavailable for viewing.

Bypassing the SOHO WebBlocker

Ocassionally you may want to allow select individuals to bypass the fil-

tering functions of the SOHO WebBlocker. For example, if you are using

the SOHO in a home as a telecommuter, you may want to block a cate-

gory from your children while still retaining access for the adults in the

household.

The SOHO WebBlocker configuration page includes a Full Access Pass-

word field. You can configure this password and give it to only those

members of your private network who should be able bypass the Web-

Blocker. When a site is blocked or unavailable, the user has the option of

entering the full access password. With the password entered, the

browser displays the otherwise blocked site. Once the password is

entered, the user can browse any site on the Internet until either the Pass-

word Expiration duration passes or the individual closes the browser.
