Filtering Scenarios - 8e6 Technologies R3000 Quick Start Manual

Filtering Scenarios

This collection of filtering scenarios is designed to help you get started filtering the net-
work. Each scenario is followed by R3000 setup information. Please consult the "How to"
section in the index of the R3000 User Guide for pages containing detailed, step-by-step
instructions on configuring and/or using the tools and features in that scenario.
I. Threats/Liabilities
1. Category block
Block categories that threaten your network/organization. In pertinent profiles,
block access to the Security category group and other categories containing content
that threaten your organization.
To block categories in a profile, go to:
• GROUP: Group > IP > member > member profile > Category tab
or GROUP: Group > Global Group > Global Group Profile > Category tab
In the R3000 User Guide index, see:
• How to: use library categories in a profile
2. Rule block
Use a rule to block categories that threaten your network/organization. Create
a rule that blocks access to the Security category group and other categories con-
taining content that threaten your organization, and then apply this rule to pertinent
profiles. Or use a defined rule—such as the 8e6 CIPA Compliance rule, if in the edu-
cational sector—to block related categories.
To create a rule and block categories in a profile, go to:
• GROUP: Group > Global Group > Rules
• Group > IP > member > member profile > Category tab
or Group > Global Group > Global Group Profile > Category tab
In the R3000 User Guide index, see:
• How to: use rules
• How to: use library categories in a profile
3. X-Strike on blocked categories
Lock out users from workstations after "X" number of attempts are made to
access content that could endanger your network/organization. Enable and
configure the X Strikes Blocking feature, specifying categories that threaten your or-
ganization. Enable the X Strikes Blocking filter option in applicable profiles. The user
receives a block page and is locked out of Internet/Intranet access after the specified
number of "strikes" are made to any of these categories.
