8e6 ProxyBlocker

8e6 Technologies’ 8e6 ProxyBlocker offers a solution for
organizations using an Internet filtering product other than
8e6’s R3000 Enterprise Filter. 8e6 ProxyBlocker tracks
each user’s online activity of Web-based proxies and anon-
ymizers, and can be configured to block specific Web sites
or service ports, thereby protecting your organization
against lost productivity, network bandwidth issues, and
possible legal problems that can result from the misuse of
Internet resources.

About this User Guide

The 8e6 ProxyBlocker User Guide primarily addresses the
network administrator designated to configure and manage
the 8e6 ProxyBlocker server on the network. This adminis-
trator is referred to as the “global administrator” throughout
this user guide. In part, this user guide also addresses
administrators who manage user groups on the network.
These administrators are referred to as “group administra-
tors” throughout this user guide. Additional information is
provided for administrators of networks that use 8e6 Proxy-
Blocker with 8e6’s Enterprise Reporter (ER) for both filtering
and reporting.

See the 8e6 ProxyBlocker Authentication User Guide at
http://www.8e6.com/docs/pba_auth_ug.pdf for informa-
tion on authentication.

This user guide is organized into the following sections:

• Introductory

Section

- This section is comprised of an

overview on filtering, Web access logging, and instant
messaging and peer-to-peer blocking. This section also
