Content Filtering (Blocking Internet Sites) If you want to restrict internal LAN users from access to certain sites on the Internet, you can use the VPN firewall's content filtering and Web components filtering features. By default, these features are disabled; all requested traffic from any website is allowed. If you enable one or more of these features and users try to access a blocked site, they will see a "Blocked by NETGEAR" message. Understanding the VPN Firewall's Content Filtering The VPN firewall supports several types of content filtering: • Web components blocking. You can block the following Web component types: Proxy, Java, ActiveX, and cookies. Some of these components can be used by malicious websites to infect computers that access them. Even sites on the Trusted Domains list will be subject to Web components blocking when the blocking of a particular Web component is enabled. - Proxy. A proxy server (or simply, proxy) allows computers to route connections to other computers through the proxy, thus circumventing certain firewall rules. For example, if connections to a specific IP address are blocked by a firewall rule, the requests can be routed through a proxy that is not blocked by the rule, rendering the restriction ineffective. Enabling this feature blocks proxy servers. - Java. Blocks Java applets from being downloaded from pages that contain them. Java applets are small programs embedded in Web pages that enable dynamic functionality of the page. A malicious applet can be used to compromise or infect computers. Enabling this setting blocks Java applets from being downloaded. Firewall Protection v1.0, April 2010 4-41
