Axentra™ Net-Box Getting Started Guide

Your Personal Firewall

Viruses , email spam, hackers, and a host of websites with questionable content are an unfortunate reality
of today's Internet . Your Net-Box offers you complete control over the security of your network and over
who sees your files and what your users see. Your Net-Box has pre-configured firewall functions,
controllable through the Administration Center.
From the Administration Center you can easily control any of your networked computer's access to the
Internet. You can prevent selected computers on your network from accessing the Internet altogether,
limit their access to the Internet to a list of Web sites you select, or ban Web sites you do not want those
computers to have access to.
Content Filtering also protects users on your LAN from offensive and/or intrusive content, like certain web
pages, that may come from the Internet. Your Net-Box comes with a full content filtering application that
lets you choose which type of content you wish to block, as well as which of your computers will have the
content filter turned on or off.
These functions are found under the FIREWALL pages in the Axentra Administration Center.

you will no longer be entitled to receive updated virus signatures, which may leave you at risk to new
viruses and malware.
When your trial period expires, you, or the Administrator of your Net-Box will be sent an email informing
them of this fact. If you wish to continue receiving updated virus signatures, you will need to follow the
