Download Free/Trial Version Of WebScout
WebScout is a powerful, yet simple to configure, HTTP and SOCKS 5 proxy which can share, monitor and filter internetaccess for a variety of web browsers and Internet applications.The intuitive user interface makes it simple to create access rules controlling what activity is allowed and which should be blocked. You cansimply deny access to a blocked site or provide your own custom error message informing the user about your Acceptable Usage Policy.Rules can be created to allow or block access based on the workstation, username, time of access, domain name, directory or filename. Forexample, you can block access to yahoo.com/games, all EXE files, or permit access during lunch hours only.Besides blocking access, you can also speed throttle certain requests to a slower speed so that they do not congest your network. Forexample, you can speed throttle MP3, EXE and ZIP file downloads to a maximum of 10 KB/s per user.WebScout includes a usage counter which records how much bandwidth and time each user or workstations has spent on the Internet on adaily, weekly and monthly basis. Usage limits can be applied to users so that when a user exceeds their quota, their Internet access isrestricted.The new SOCKS 5 proxy makes it possible to monitor and restrict usage in a wider range of Internet programs, such as FTP, e-mail, P2Pfile-sharing programs, IRC and IM chat programs. Advertisements and adult content can be filtered using the built-in filters. All Internet activitycan be logged into a text file, or you can choose to log only blocked requests or disable the log altogether.The latest version also adds Active Directory and NT domain authentication, so users can use their existing Windows logon password to alsoaccess to the Internet. The programs settings can be password-protected so that no other users can make unauthorized changes. WebScoutruns invisibly in the background as a Windows service.
