Use Userful Desktops built in Web filtering through an external proxy?
Using Userful Desktop’s Web filtering allows you to control filter settings through Userful Manager, and you can have different filtering policies for different kinds of sessions. However, using your own external proxy allows you to set company-wide or network-wide filtering policies. Let’s examine each option separately. • Use only the external proxy. Follow these steps: • Log in to Userful Manager. • Go to Solutions Expert > Web Filtering > Create a New Web Filter (or click on an existing filter). • Go to the External Filter section, and enter your proxy’s IP address and port number. (Remember, if you use the external proxy this way all the settings in the Internal Filter section above will be ignored.) • Click on Save. • Return to the Solutions Expert, click on Session Properties & Timing and select a session profile to edit. • In the Filter section, make sure the Filter Name uses the correct filter. (You may need to do this with multiple session profiles depending on your policy.)
