How Content Barrier Filters Internet Content
ContentBarrier separates its filtering functions into four categories: Web, Chat, Applications, and
Other. In addition it has the ability to record users’ actions without their knowledge (“Recorder”),
and you can limit Internet access entirely according to a schedule that you set (“Schedule”). Each of
these six tools is represented by a button underneath the user’s information in ContentBarrier’s
main window.
Next, we’ll discuss each of these tools in detail. You can return to the Overview screen at any time
by clicking the Overview button.
Web Filtering
As discussed in the “Web Filter Setup” section earlier in this manual, ContentBarrier X5 gives you
three options to prevent the selected users from accessing certain web sites. They are: Allow access
to all web sites, Block selected categories of web sites, and Only allow selected web sites. Each has
its own screen of configuration options that resembles the screens you saw during the setup process,
except with more options.
The Allow access to all web sites option is the simplest, as there are no settings: if you select this
radio button, no web sites will be held back from the selected user.
The Block selected categories of web sites choice is ContentBarrier X5’s default. It provides the
most options, divided into five tabs: Categories, Trusted Web Sites, Blocked Web Sites, Keywords,
and Advanced.
When you select this radio button, the Categories tab is selected and you see a list of web site
categories with the Alcohol, Gambling, Hacking, Racism, Sex/Pornography, and Violence
