Cloud content filter¶

The cloud content filtering allows you to profile and block the user web traffic. The system allows you to create multiple profiles based on user name (authenticated web proxy) or on the IP source (transparent or manual proxy).

Preliminary operations¶

You need to access https://register.nethesis.it, inside Administration section, and add the server to the Cloud content filter section.

Configuration¶

The configuration is composed of two parts:

a profile associated to a group of users or a host group
a selection of blacklists associated with the created profile

Profiles must be created through the web interface of NethServer Enterprise, while the association between profiles and blacklist can be configured accessing the FlashStart remote interface. To access FlashStart remote interface, click on Configure inside the Cloud content filter page.

Manual or transparent proxy¶

Using manual or transparent proxy, you can profile the users only through the source IP address.

Steps:

Create a host group
Open the tab IP profiles and click on Create new
Select a host group and enter a description
To select the blacklist associated with the profile, click on Configure and access the FlashStart

Authenticated proxy¶

Using authenticated proxy, you can profile the users through the user name.

Steps:

Create a user group
Open the tab User profiles and click on Create new
Select a user group and enter a description
To select the blacklist associated with the profile, click on Configure and access the FlashStart

Nota

The filter will work only if all client are using the web proxy.
