WHAT IS INTERNET OR CONTENT FILTERING

Internet content filtering technology allows you to ban access to certain types or categories of websites. It is normally used in the home or in a public access venue like an Internet Cafe, School or Library. It blocks access to a whole range of web sites that you deem to be unacceptable or offensive. In addition to the standard categories, you can also add your own, including web sites of your competitors. (Click Here to see some sample categories)

HARDWARE VS. SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS

Hardware solutions are excellent if you want to protect a complete network of several or many computers. The hardware appliance contains the filtering protection and any traffic routed through it is subject to the filter rules you require. There is no software to install on any client machines. Whotspot manages the whole process for you. Anyone connecting at your Hotspot can only surf the locations you allow.

The filter engine is monitored 24 x 7. New web sites are added daily. All surfing at your location passing through the Whotspot Gateway is monitored in real-time and any unauthorized accesses are block!

Should you find a site offensive, 1 phone call or email is all it takes to have us add it to your blocked list. Should you find a site blocked that you want unblocked, you have several options - we can unblock it for all to see, or you can apply a password to allow temporary access.

There are essentially no censors on the Internet. Anyone in the world — companies, governments, organizations, and individuals — can publish material on the Internet. A service provider links you to these sites, but it can’t control what is on them. It’s up to individuals to make sure that they behave in a way that’s safe and appropriate. Using a good content filter is a start! To learn more and for great resources about Internet Safety, please visit wiredsafety.org -the world's largest online safety and help group.

Disclaimer: Whotspot provides content filtering only as a managed service to assist customers in preventing the display of offensive material on computer screens, on a best effort basis. We do not categorize or select the sites or material to be blocked. We use the service of a third-party vendor to monitor and categorize web sites on a daily basis. We make every effort to filter sites to remove pornographic content and hate-related content ("offensive content") from your search results - as you, the customer, have requested. The filter may screen keywords and content in web sites and may remove any identified offensive content from your search results or display. The filter may not be 100% accurate or error-free and Whotspot or its vendors will not be responsible for any offensive content in your search or display results.
