Editor's review
This is a software application that will be able to block access to problematic sites and keep users safe.
GateWall DNS Filter allows very close control of Internet access. All of the users in the corporate network can be protected from the security threats and prevent misuse of company resources. This strong control does not require any additional software or hardware solutions in your corporate network. This utility will also help you minimize unwanted traffic and improve performance of the users. The filter is a hosted/ cloud based solution and thus there are no hassles involved with installation or updates to the features. The solution will remember current network mapping and processes being executed. The tool uses a large database of some 500 million URLs and it is updated frequently. Though this is quite a load on the system, it does not affect user activities.
This listing is arranged by categories and it should be easy for the administrator to configure. The categories such as pornography, malicious sites, online casinos, online gaming and entertainment portals, social networks, torrents and P2P services, proxy-servers, anonymizers, etc. could be completely blocked. White listing and black listings can be used to your advantage. This could be a tool to prevent such threats from sites such as phishing, Trojans, keyloggers, botnets and other malicious software. Detailed reporting available with the tool will let you track detailed usage stats for users. The interface makes it very easy to set up. The controls are presented in a structured fashion of the left of the interface. The program can be administered through the web-based control panel. Its access-rights control feature lets you assign access rights to specific users. This ease of use makes it very suitable for schools and colleges, public institutions and large and mid-sized companies and their large number of departments connected on a network.
