PureSight Content Scanner

Top  Previous  Next

The PureSight content scanner is a extension to the HTTP proxy to block web sites depending on their category (e.g. erotic or gambling).

 

In order to use the PureSight content scanner you must purchase a separate license file. Of course you have the possibility to test the functionality for 30 days for free.

 

There are two different versions of the PureSight content scanner:

 

Limited Edition: The web sites can be blocked by specific categories. You select these categories within the web interface of the firewall and cannot get any specific reports.
Enterprise Edition: When you purchase the enterprise edition you can configure the PureSight content scanner with a separate PureSight web interface. You can do extensive configuration and you can get many specific reports.

 

How to get a valid PureSight license and how to start the content scanner.

 

Click the URL "Upload license" at the menu bar.
Copy the "PureSight Network ID" into the clipboard and send it to office@gibraltar.at. Also add the internal IP address of the firewall and the edition you want to purchase.
You will get a license file for uploading at the firewall.
If you purchased the Limited Edition you can choose the categories at the HTTP proxy tab of PureSight where you can select the categories to be blocked.
If you purchased the Enterprise Edition you must start the service at the module Services and after starting you can reach the separate web interface at the URL: http://ipOfYourFirewall:5000. Do not forget to add a firewall rule to reach port 5000 from the internal network (int -> LOCAL).

 

Enterprise Edition

As already said the Enterprise Edition can be reached at a separate web interface (deactivate popup blockers for this IP address). The default password is empty. When you change the password for the first time, be aware that you must enter a blank in the old password field. An empty field is not allowed here.

All configuration options are explained detailed within the PureSight online manual.

 

ATTENTION: If you change your internal IP address you must order a new license file at office@gibraltar.at for free.
