Click OK Dynamic content filtering is now activated for all web traffic from lannet to all-nets. We can validate the functionality with the following steps: 1. On a workstation on the lannet network, launch a standard web browser. 2. Try to browse to a search site. For example, www.google.com. 3. If everything is configured correctly, the web browser will present a web page that informs the user about that the requested site is blocked. Audit Mode In Audit Mode, the system will classify and log all surfing according to the content filtering policy, but restricted web sites will still be accessible to the users. This means the content filtering feature of NetDefendOS can then be used as an analysis tool to analysis what categories of websites are being accessed by a user community and how often. After running in Audit Mode for some period of time, it is easier to then have a better understanding of the surfing behavior of different user groups and also to better understand the potential impact of turning on the WCF feature. Introducing Blocking Gradually Blocking websites can disturb users if it is introduced suddenly. It is therefore recommended that the administrator gradually introduces the blocking of particular categories one at a time. This allows individual users time to get used to the notion that blocking exists and could avoid any adverse reaction that might occur if too much is blocked at once. Gradual introduction also makes it easier to evaluate if the goals of site blocking are being met. 325
