Consent
The Consent tab allows you to enforce content filtering on designated computers and provide
optional filtering on other computers. Consent can be configured to require the user to agree to the
terms outlined in an Acceptable Use Policy window before Web browsing is allowed.
Click Filter on the left side of the browser window, and then click the Consent tab.

Maximum Web usage
In an environment where there are more users than computers, such as a classroom or library,
time limits are often imposed. The SonicWALL can be used to remind users when their time has
expired by displaying the page defined in the Consent page URL field. Enter the time limit, in
minutes, in the Maximum Web usage field. When the default value of zero (0) is entered, this
feature is disabled.
•
User Idle Timeout is 5 minutes (configure here)
After a period of Web browser inactivity, the SonicWALL requires the user to agree to the terms
outlined in the Consent page before accessing the Internet again. To configure the value, follow
the link to the Users window and enter the desired value in the User Idle Timeout section.
•
Consent page URL (Optional Filtering)
When a user opens a Web browser on a computer requiring consent, they are shown a consent
page and given the option to access the Internet with or without content filtering. You must
create this Web (HTML) page. It can contain the text from, or links to an Acceptable Use Policy
(AUP).
This page must contain links to two pages contained in the SonicWALL, which, when selected,
tell the SonicWALL if the user wishes to have filtered or unfiltered access. The link for unfiltered
access must be <192.168.168.168/iAccept.html> and the link for filtered access must be
<192.168.168.168/iAcceptFilter.html>, where the SonicWALL LAN IP Address is used instead
of "192.168.168.168".
