I need to block access to some websites for most of the day but make them available between 12.45pm and 1.45pm - how do I do this?
Blocking internet access to some or all sites in known as ‘Web or Content filtering’.
Web filtering is achieved by the use of a device on the network or software on a server which checks network traffic from computers destined for the internet. The Web Filter checks the traffic against it’s database of allowed and denied times of the day and allowed and denied websites and ultimately allows or denies the traffic. The computer user is notified that a website has been blocked if necessary. It is important to understand exactly what is required by a business from a Web Filter, your IT support company will be able to recommend the best solution to apply your policy.

One common misunderstanding is that only IT departments should worry about putting some form of web filter in place to block access to sites that are infected with malcode.. Home users face the same threats as the enterprise. For home users there are filtering tools available that offer the same technology as enterprise class filters. Livia Web Protection is now available, it launched this past summer, and it is actually powered by technology from Websense - which is the most used filtering product for organizations and schools. In addition to blocking malicious websites, the software also protects children from all the bad stuff that is online. Especially during this holiday season, hackers and criminals are going to be trying to take advantage of those who will be doing a lot of online shopping. Info on Livia is available at http://www.liviaweb.com and they offer a free trial of the software.
