This page gives you the possibility to see which pages have been blocked by the HTTP content filter. The content filter is inactive by default after the installation of EFW, and may be activated (and deactivated) through a specific administration page () and may be configured in the section.
Due to the large amount of information that has to be processed, the Content Filter page can take a considerable amount of time to load after its initial selection or an Update.
There are several controls on this page in addition to the common controls described at the beginning of this Section:
This dropdown box allows you to selectively look at web proxy activity related to single IP addresses on the local network, or the activity related to ALL machines that have used the proxy.
The box allows you type in a regular expressions text string to define which file types should be omitted from the web proxy logs. The default string hides image files (.gif, .jpeg, .png & .png), stylesheet files (.css) and JavaScript files (.js).
Tick this on to enable the Ignore filter: or tick it off to disable it.
This button allows you to restore the factory settings for this section.
For this page, the information appearing in the Log: section of the window consists of:
The Time the file was requested.
The Source IP address of the local system requesting the file.
The Website - or more precisely the URL for each requested and cached file.
The Website URL entries in these logs are also hyperlinks to the referenced web pages or files.
The Status - denied. Which currently can be only DENIED, since requests to allowed pages will not be logged here. (before version 2.1 blocked was used instead of denied)
