Google Captive Portal Check is used by Google products such as Android, Chrome and Chromebooks
to test whether an Internet connection exists. Your IP address is sent to the Google Captive Portal.
eBlocker blocks the structure of the Google Captive Portal, otherwise Google will collect your IP
address. Activate this option with one click if Android devices are often disconnected from your WLAN.
Do Not Track
Do-Not-Track (DNT) is an HTTP header field which signals to a website that the visitor does not want
a user profile to be created from the website. Unfortunately, this wish of the user is not binding and is
therefore ignored by many websites.
For most browsers, this feature can be found in the privacy or security settings.
The eBlocker makes it easier for you and automatically sets the Do-Not-Track field in all requests after
activation of the function.
HTTP Referrer Header
HTTP referrer headers are automatically created when you surf the Internet. The referrer displays the
website you visited before you reached the current website.
By using the referrer headers, websites can partially track your surfing habits. Some websites also use
the referrer headers for internal purposes. Blocking the referrer headers can therefore result in some
pages no longer being displayed correctly. Decide with one click whether referrer headers should be
allowed.
Compression
Web servers often compress the delivered web pages in order to keep the amount of data transferred
on the Internet as low as possible. The eBlocker must then decompress the data to analyze the page
and perform its protection features. In your local network, re-compressing on the last track to the device
would not result in a speed advantage. On the contrary: The page layout is usually even faster if no
new compression and decompression is used for this last track.
Only if your device is connected via eBlocker Mobile while on the go it should be compressed to the
device.
Therefore the compression feature of the eBlocker offers you three settings.
No Compression
The data between eBlocker and device is not compressed again.
Compression for eBlocker Mobile Devices (recommended)
As above. Only if your device connects via eBlocker Mobile while on the go, the data between eBlocker
and device will be compressed
Always compress
Here the data is always compressed during transport from the eBlocker to the device.
WebRTC
WebRTC is a browser technology that enables real-time communication between two parties. It is used,
for example, for Internet telephony and chat.
Unfortunately, WebRTC reveals your real IP address (and even your local LAN IP) to establish the
connections. Even when using Tor (IP anonymization), you can be identified by your real IP address if
WebRTC is not blocked. Decide with one click whether WebRTC connections should be allowed.
