Filtering Profile Components > Filter Settings:

Categories and service ports use the following settings to specify how filtering will be executed:

• block - if a category or a service port is given a block setting, users will be denied access to the item set up as “blocked”
• open - if a category or the filter segment detected on the network is given an open (pass) setting, users will be allowed access to the item set up as “opened”
• always allowed - if a category is given an always allowed setting, the category is included in the user's white list (NOTE: This setting can be bypassed by selections made in the minimum filtering level.)
• warn - If a category is given a warn setting, a warning page displays for the end user to warn him/her that accessing the intended URL may be against established policies and to proceed at his/her own risk
• filter - if a service port is given a filter setting, that port will use filter settings created for library categories (block or open settings) to determine whether users should be denied or allowed access to that port
• ignore - if the filter segment detected on the network has a service port set up to be ignored, that service port will be bypassed
