About

User tries to access a web site in the Internet. Browser connects to that site either directly or using explicitly configured proxy settings. Requests and remote site responses get into Squid, are authenticated and redirected to Web Safety ICAP filter running either locally or remotely. Requests and responses are analyzed and access is allowed or denied based on configured policy settings. Information about request and response is stored in the database. Web Safety is an ICAP web filter that directly plugs into Squid proxy. This allows it to filter URLs and do deep content inspection of encrypted HTTPS traffic. Encrypted explicit content is blocked easily. Performs deep content inspection of web pages and blocks everything containing adult explicit language and links to questionable content. General purpose web sites (Google Search, Google Images, Bing or YouTube) are filtered as well and all inappropriate content is blocked.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • AI enabled first-seen ability to scan a website in real-time for unknown websites; great filtering and extremely fast resolver. Offers DNS relay servers with DoT. DoH is now offered for routers. Customer support representatives are very friendly, engaged, and extremely helpful. They work until there is a resolution. DNS relay server app was recently upgraded to include management ability, which has helped tremendously instead of needing to self-install.
  • + Easy to use + One-click CIPA compliance + Users can submit unblock requests directly from the block page + Changes to block lists take effect instantly + The interface is fast and intuitive + Excellent support

Cons

  • Has fallen behind other resolvers with filters. No geographical blocking (only top-level domains; cannot block by regional IPs). DNSSEC support is limited (they actively discourage it). DNSSEC support is non-existent for DoH resolver. Many filter lists do not compare to competitors. IPv6 support is behind other resolvers. NAT addresses only allow you to specify an v6 or v4 address -- not both, which severely limits ability to use non-encrypted resolvers. No v6 support for the DNS relay server software, but they are supposedly developing it.
  • We'd like to have different filtering policies based on which VLAN the user is on. This can be done but it's a bit complex if you use Active Directory integrated DNS as we do.
