Google recently announced that they would be discontinuing support for many browsers that are currently in use today, in favour of more up-to-date versions of the same browsers. This will mean that many of the google services (eg mail, and google apps) may start having issues.

We've just identified a bug in Google's Chrome browser that's corrupting the upload of CensorNet database backup files. It appears to be stripping some bits from the upload.

The pending v2.0.x release brings with it some fundamental changes to the way that CensorNet classifies web sites and as a result this has a direct impact on the categories available in your filter policies. The good news is that the new system is faster, more accurate and broader - with an additional 30 categories being added to the database. Furthermore, it also includes malware protection as standard whereas previously this was an optional extra which you had to pay for.

We've had a few tech support queries about google images recently, and considering the changes google have made to the back-end, I figured it was a good time to try to address the common queries about the google images site.

Although CensorNet has the ability to issue alerts to administrators if resource thresholds are triggered (e.g. low disk space) some power users might prefer to use their existing SNMP management tool to monitor, report and alert about the status of the CensorNet server.

Here on the tech support desk, we get a chance to remotely administer many of the customers CensorNet servers. I've been noticing recently that a lot of people are making a common mistake, so I thought I'd try to clarify it for everyone.

We've recently had reports of a couple of sites that have been timing out when accessed through CensorNet. 999 times out of 1000, when this happens, there's a simple cause within your CensorNet policy setup, however occasionally there's more to it than that. In these cases, even adding the URL to the filter bypass cannot get the pages to download. Instead, all that they get is an "Upstream proxy did not respond in time" message.

Whilst most companies seem to have a pretty solid strategy for filtering computers that don't move around (e.g. your desktop PC), there seems to be an issue emerging with corporate laptops that operate outside the network. These laptops (or indeed computers, if it is a home worker) may or may not be using a VPN and may be using a 3G, Wi-Fi or wired connection to the Internet. The problem comes when you want to reach out and apply the same policy that the employees in the office have to those out and about or working from home.

Our Development Team have been looking into making the CensorNet fault tolerant. This means that the failure of a device does not need to lead to the complete loss of the service.
