Web Client Blocking allows you to control which client machines in your
network can access the Web through the Webcache. If you enable Web
Client Blocking, you can create a list of the static IP addresses or IP
address ranges of client machines that you are allowing or denying access
to the Web through the Webcache. If the client machine is blocked by
Web Client Blocking, the Customize Response screen will not appear.
The Webcache is capable of blocking Web Clients in two different ways:
Deny all except — to stop all clients accessing the Web except for
I
those you specifically allow.
Allow all except — to allow all clients to access the Web except for
I
those you specifically block.
CAUTION: If the browser on the client machine that you are using to
configure the Webcache is also using the Webcache as a proxy, and you
enable Web Client Blocking, ensure that your client is allowed Web
access. If you do not do this, access from the client machine to the
Webcache will be blocked, preventing you from using the Web interface.
You can regain access by either:
Changing the client machine's browser settings to remove the use of
I
the Webcache as a proxy or
