clients such as Google Web Accelerator and proxy patterns
that bypass filtering (see http://www.m86security.com/
software/8e6/hlp/r3000/files/1system_proxy_block
.html for a list of proxy pattern types set up to be blocked.
When using this feature, the Pattern Detection Whitelist
window can be used for setting up IP addresses to bypass
pattern filtering (see Pattern Detection Whitelist window in
Chapter 3: Library screen). Target(s) Filtering will only
display if this server being configured is set up for synchro-
nization in the Source mode. This frame is used for speci-
fying whether filtering will take place on all Web Filter
servers on the network set up in the Target mode.
NOTE: This window displays greyed-out if the synchronization
feature is used, and this server being configured is set up in the
Target mode to synchronize both profile and library setting
changes.
TIP: See the Introductory Section for overviews on the following
topics:
• IM and P2P (Chapter 2: Logging and Blocking)
• Synchronization (Chapter 3: Synchronizing Multiple Units)

Local Filtering

In the Local Filtering frame, indicate the function of this
server being configured, in regards to filtering the network.
The default setting has Local Filtering "On" and VLAN
Detection "Off".

Disable Local Filtering Options

If you have multiple Web Filters on the network, you may
wish to disable local filtering on the source server and use
the server primarily for authenticating users who log on the
network. This frees up resources on the server.
To disable Local Filtering and/or VLAN Detection, click
the "Off" radio button(s).
