Set up access levels--blocked, filtered, or allowed--for Web sites, Newsgroups, IRC Chat, and Applications.

You may want to block all access to the Internet and applications, or allow full access, or filter access based on the time and the content. To do this, set Internet and application access to be blocked, filtered, or allowed, as described in the following table:

Web sites, Newsgroups,
and IRC Chat

Applications

Blocked

Access is blocked to all sites all the time.

Access is blocked at all times to all applications on the Applications Restricted list.

Filtered

Access is filtered according to setup for Time, CyberLISTS, Keywords, and Ratings settings.

Access to applications on the Applications Restricted list is filtered according to Time settings.

Allowed

Access is allowed to all sites according to Time settings.

Access is allowed to all applications, including those on the Applications Restricted list, according to Time settings,.


How to set up Internet and application access

You can set up different access levels for Web sites, Newsgroups, IRC Chat, and Applications. To set access levels:

  1. In Setup:Access, use the pop-up menus to select the access level for Web sites, Newsgroups, IRC Chat, and Applications.
  2. Click Save.


Time tampering and access

Time tampering occurs when an attempt is made to circumvent the time restrictions by improperly changing the system date and/or time. When time tampering is detected, Cyber Patrol disables Internet and application access.

You can toggle this disabling to allow for adjustments such as resetting your system clock.

Warning!  It is strongly recommended that the Tampering behavior be set to Blocked if the Expiration Behavior in Advanced:Appearance is allowed. If both these behaviors were allowed, and someone tampers with the computer's system date, moving it forward past the CyberLIST subscription date, then full Internet and application access could occur.


How to block access under tampering conditions

To block Internet access if time tampering is detected:

  1. In Setup:Access, go to the Tampering area.
  2. Check the box next to Block all access if this computer's date/time setting is tampered with.

To allow Internet access if tampering is detected:

  • Uncheck the box next to Block all access if this computer's date/time setting is tampered with.

    Warning!   If you uncheck this box, it is strongly recommended that the Advanced:Appearance Expiration Behavior be set to Blocked to prevent possible full Internet access.
