How it Works

Plug-and-play configuration

With our quick and easy activation process, you will be able to have an effective web filter and monitoring for your entire network within minutes. An optional color-coded wiring kit makes configuration of your web filter even easier.

Customizable Filtering

In addition to the 35 categories of content filtering that are included, you also receive the ability to create your own list of sites to allow or block.

Trusted Filtering

EtherShield’s database has been tested at more than 98-percent effective in independent testing studies — consistently ranking higher than other filters.

Application Blocking

EtherShield blocks Instant Messengers, peer-to-peer file-sharing, media players, and other applications that can consume network resources and sap employee productivity.

Centralized Administration

Control and change settings for groups or individuals in your wired and wireless networks from a single administration portal accessable from any web browser.

Monitoring and Reporting

Ethershield monitors all policy violations in your wired and wireless network and keeps easy-to-read reports for however long you want. Violations can be tracked to individual users.

Centralized Internet Control for Organizations

Ethershield is a highly cost-effective solution for any organization looking for a hardware device to automatically filter their entire network. Connecting Ethershield to your network structure will automatically filter all computers wired in, but also your wireless network, so that any Internet-enabled device will be blocked from accessing inappropriate content.

Our centralized web-based administration portal makes it easy for a single admin user to control group policies for an up to 200 computers, as well as view any violations of your organization's web use policies.

How Ethershield Protects Your Network

EtherShield functions as a bridge from your network to the Internet, protecting your entire network by requiring all traffic to cross EtherShield’s internet filter bridge to gain access to the web. We recommend placing EtherShield between your Internet router and the rest of your network. With this configuration, only Internet-bound traffic is filtered. There are other options available (see below) that allow EtherShield to filter only a specific segment of your network.

Always Up-to-Date Internet Filter

As an EtherShield client, your Internet filter is always up to date. Continual access to InternetSafety.com’s cutting-edge, client-server internet filter infrastructure ensures that you never have to download database updates—they’re automatically routed to your EtherShield. With the web changing daily, it’s good to know you can trust that your Internet filter is always on the lookout and up to date.
