Censornet - internet filtering on your terms

CensorNet version 1.7.x (the makeover release!)

Published in Archived articles on February 19, 2010 by Administrator

We will shortly be announcing the availability of CensorNet Professional v4 (1.7.x) which will be free to download for existing customers (as always!). This release has focussed mainly on the user interface. We have.... 1. Introduced a new, cleaner, drop down menu 2. Made the interface compatible with Chrome, Opera and Safari as well as Firefox and Internet Explorer. 3. Decluttered (if that's a word?) each page of the interface to make it more friendly and easier to use 4. Added an option to select the number of "records" to be displayed in User/Workstation manager 5. Made it so that your decision to "Ignore Paths" in the Unblock page is saved for next time 6. Changed the pie chart on System Overview page to show "top categories" accessed rather than filter modules triggered (we feel this is more useful!) We have also tried to remove some of the niggles that previous versions of CensorNet have introduced. In particular: 1. With SSL Intercept mode on, if CensorNet encounters a site with an invalid certificate it now shows a friendly warning screen with the option to continue (this template can be edited) 2. You no longer need to edit the squid.conf directly to allow a site running on a port other than 80 and 443 3. You can now enable/disable the RemoteWorker service from within the user interface We have also enhanced the SafeSearch module to enforce YouTube SafeMode to prevent browsing of unsuitable content on YouTube. Some other minor changes: 1. Fixed a bug with ADAgent whereby user to machine mappings are not saved when CensorNet is restarted 2. Added a report for "Bandwidth used by user group" with option to drill down to users in the group We hope you enjoy our latest release and as always we look forward to your feedback,
