Internet access control

The Internet access control system in the Internet Administrator family of programs determines who, where, when, and how can access the internet. The access policy ensures that the internet is used exclusively for business! Users should have access only to those internet resources they need for work. According to statistics, more than 70 percent of company employees use the internet for personal purposes, downloading tens of megabytes of video and audio files and browsing news and gaming sites. Lack of internet access control can lead to the appearance of unethical and dangerous materials on network computers. Internet Administrator helps you implement an access policy and control access to internet resources. The access policy is based on a flexible system of access rules.

Each rule either denies or allows access to the resources defined in the rule. A rule has an aggregating effect: various resources within a single rule are combined and acted upon under a common condition. Internet objects include website categories, Internet name domains, Internet hosts (sites), protocols, external subnet IP addresses, URL query terms, access times, content types, and country by IP address. A rule can restrict internet access for the entire network or for individual users or groups.
