Why is the blacklist (UM filter setting) ignored when an external proxy is used?

0

Because Userful Manager was told to ignore it. There are various different settings for filters and proxies with Userful Manager and Userful Desktop. Let’s clarify some of the key options. • Userful Desktop proxy settings. In Admin mode, the desktop has a “Proxy settings” icon. Clicking on this brings up your HTTP proxy settings. This allows you to modify which proxy Dansguardian (our Web filter) uses. If, for example, you already have an external proxy, you can fill in this proxy settings dialog to use it, while still allowing Dansguardian Web filtering to do its thing. Changes to these settings will still allow you to use your internal filter settings in UM. • External proxy for web filters. If you set an external proxy through Userful Manager > Web Filtering > Create a New Web Filter, this essentially instructs Userful Desktop not to use the internal (Dansguardian) filtering. Through Userful Manager, you can use internal or external filter proxies, but not both. • Performance Filter
