Intego ContentBarrier X5 User’s Manual Page 44
In the event of a conflict—if you’ve listed the same web site listed in both the Trusted Web Sites
and Blocked Web Sites lists, for example—ContentBarrier X5 will block the site.
Last on the “Block selected categories of web sites” method is the Advanced tab.
It has two settings:
• “Enable Safe Search”, which prevents the user from seeing questionable sites in the search
results of several popular search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, which offer a Safe Search
feature. You can go one step further and prevent your user from performing any kinds of
searches on these sites by selecting a web page listed on the “Redirect searches to:” popup
menu. (You can add your own web page—or a local file on your computer—to that popup
menu by clicking Edit....)
• “Block encrypted web sites” prevents the user from reaching any site that uses the HTTPS
protocol, as is common in sites where money or confidential information changes hands.
Checking this box will effectively stop nearly all online shopping, although it will also block
other sites.
The third option for controlling access to web sites is Only allow selected web sites, which has two
tabs:
• A White List tab, which works in exactly the same way as the Trusted Web Sites list described
above; and,
• A Searches tab, which lets you filter with Safe Search enabled, as described above, on search
engines that offer this feature.
