Filter Options
The Filter Options tab is used for specifying which filter options will be enabled for the time profile.

Click the checkbox(es) for the filter options you wish to apply:

  • X Strikes Blocking

    With the X Strikes Blocking option enabled, an end user who attempts to access inappropriate sites on the Internet will be locked out from his/her workstation after a specified number of tries within a fixed time period.

  • Google/Bing/Yahoo!/Youtube/Ask/AOL Safe Search Enforcement

    With the Google/Bing/Yahoo!/Youtube/Ask/AOL Safe Search Enforcement option enabled, Google, Bing, Yahoo!, YouTube, Ask, and AOL's “strict” SafeSearch Filtering option will be used whenever the end user performs a Google, Yahoo!, YouTube, Ask.com, or AOL Web search or Image search.

    WARNINGS: This feature is not compatible with the proxy environment as it will cause overblocking. An inappropriate image will only be blocked if that image is included in Trustwave’s library or is blocked by Google, Bing, Yahoo!, YouTube, Ask, or AOL. If this option is used in conjunction with the X Strikes Blocking feature and a user is performing an inappropriate Google, Bing, Yahoo!, YouTube, Ask, or AOL Image search, the number of strikes that user will receive is based upon the amount of time it will take for unacceptable Google, Bing, Yahoo!, YouTube, Ask, or AOL images returned by the query to load on the page. The user will receive only one strike if all inappropriate images load within the tolerance time range of a given strike.

  • Search Engine Keyword Filter Control

    With the Search Engine Keyword Filter Control option enabled, search engine keywords can be set up to be blocked. When a user enters a keyword in the search engine, if that keyword has been set up to be blocked, the search will not be performed. Search engine keywords are entered in the Search Engine Keywords window of Trustwave Supplied library categories and custom library categories.

    NOTES: Search engine keyword filtering relies on an exact keyword match. For example, if the word “sex” is set up to be blocked, but “sexes” is not set up to be blocked, a search will be allowed on “sexes” but not “sex”. However, if the word “gin” is set up to be blocked, a search on “cotton gin” will be blocked since the word “gin” is blocked.

  • URL Keyword Filter Control

    With the URL Keyword Filter Control option enabled, URL keywords can be set up to be blocked. When a user enters a keyword in the address line of a browser window, if that keyword has been set up to be blocked, the user will be denied access to that site or service. URL keywords are entered in the URL Keywords window of Trustwave Supplied library categories and custom library categories.

WARNING: If this feature is activated, use extreme caution when setting up URL keywords for filtering. If a keyword that is entered in a browser’s address window contains the same consecutive characters as a keyword set up to be blocked, users will be denied access to URLs that are not even within blocked categories. For example, if all URL keywords containing “sex” are blocked, users will not be able to access a non-pornographic site such as “http://www.essex.com”.

Extend URL Keyword Filter Control
This option extends the URL keyword search beyond the "?" character in a URL string.
