Web Site in CyberPatrol List
If the site is in our database at WatchGuard, the SOHO checks whether
or not you have chosen to block that type (or category) of site. When
the category is blocked, the browser displays a page informing the
user that the site is unavailable for viewing. If the category is not
blocked, the Web browser opens the page for viewing.
WatchGuard WebBlocker Database Unavailable
If for any reason, the WatchGuard WebBlocker database is unavailable,
for example if there is briefly a problem between your ISP and the
nearest WatchGuard server, the browser displays a page informing the
user that the site is unavailable for viewing.
Bypassing the SOHO WebBlocker
Ocassionally you may want to allow select individuals to bypass the fil-
tering functions of the SOHO WebBlocker. For example, if you are using
the SOHO in a home as a telecommuter, you may want to block a cate-
gory from your children while still retaining access for the adults in the
household.
The SOHO WebBlocker configuration page includes a Full Access Pass-
word field. You can configure this password and give it to only those
members of your private network who should be able bypass the Web-
Blocker. When a site is blocked or unavailable, the user has the option of
entering the full access password. With the password entered, the
browser displays the otherwise blocked site. Once the password is
entered, the user can browse any site on the Internet until either the Pass-
word Expiration duration passes or the individual closes the browser.
