built-in antivirus protection that makes
web surfing much safer. Our modular
design gives industry-leading performance

Monitoring User
Internet Activity
Pop-ups are the bane of web surfers: it is
all too easy to accidentally click a link in an
obnoxious ad image. UserGate Web Filter
does away with pop-ups, including ones
loaded from other sites. Banner ads are
another significant source of annoyance.
Visiting a safe site can still force you to
view pornographic images in ads on the
page margin, for example. UserGate Web
Filter solves this problem too by zapping
banner ads before users ever see them.
It is broadly assumed that office workers
with access to computers spend
some portion of their day using them
for personal communication, social
networking, reading blogs, sports or
news sites, or pleasure. The actual
wasted time and productivity turns out
to be staggering. When a user knows
that his or her Internet activity can be
monitored they are more likely to restrict
the time they spend on such websites.
Protecting your privacy
Managing Social Media
It’s no secret that there’s big money to be
made in violating your privacy. Facebook,
Google, and hundreds of other advertising
networks and data collection sites track
you as you browse the Web. UserGate
Web Filter protects your privacy by
blocking the invisible tracking cookies and
plug-ins on many websites and banishing
social networks from transmitting data
about you after you leave those sites.
UserGate Web Filter provides social
network usage control and granular
policies. So you can generally allow
using Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram,
Foursquare, or Twitter but all messages
containing words from certain
dictionaries, such as Pornography,
Bad Words, Drugs, Gambling, or any
custom ones, can be blocked.

content control
Blocking of banners,
pop-ups and spying scripts
Category-based
blocking
UserGate Web Filter uses Kaspersky
Labs and Avira antivirus engines to scan
for viruses both web pages loaded from
the Internet and downloaded files. The
new feature provides with additional
security and makes web surfing safer.
Pop-ups are the bane of web surfers: it is
all too easy to accidentally click a link in an
obnoxious ad image. UserGate Web Filter
does away with pop-ups, including ones
loaded from other sites. Banner ads are
another significant source of annoyance.
Visiting a safe site can still force you to
view pornographic images in ads on the
page margin, for example. UserGate Web
Filter solves this problem too, by zapping
banner ads before users see them.
UserGate Web Filter uses a massive URL
database to classify sites based on 70+
categories. Over 500 million URLs are
listed. The database is regularly updated:
UserGate Web Filter can also deny
downloads of certain file types
(exe, doc, mp3, avi etc.). It prevents
a user from downloading files which
often might contain malware.
Social media control
UserGate Web Filter provides Web
2.0 applications and social media control,
enforcing granular policies on application
functions and communications.
Administrators can allow selective access
to social media content while restricting
non-productive activities. Granular control
of content policies can ensure that
employees’ social media communications
conform to organization’s guidelines.
Safe search
Administrators can force use of
“safe search” mode on popular
search engines (Google, Yahoo,
Bing, Rambler) and on YouTube.
Inappropriate content is
blocked by the sites themselves,
which is highly effective for
filtering results of image and
video searches, among others.
SSL Inspection
Alongside ordinary
unencrypted traffic, UserGate
Web Filter can be configured
to filter HTTPS traffic. The server
performs certificate-swapping
and morphological filtering on
the fly. UserGate Web Filter uses
all of its filtering mechanisms
to proceed HTTPS traffic.
Caching
UserGate Web Filter supports
caching, so it stores copies of
frequently accessed objects,
such as documents, images, and
articles. Internet users get their
information faster, and Internet
bandwidth is freed for other tasks.
UserGate Web Filter protects your privacy
by blocking the invisible tracking cookies
and plug-ins on many websites and
banishing social networks from transmitting
data about you after you leave those sites.
RADIUS protocol support
UserGate Web Filter supports a number
of RADIUS attributes for device or user
authentication.
Monitoring and statistics
UserGate Web Filter offers statistics
for visited site categories as well as
allowed/blocked hits. These reports
make it a cinch to analyze and respond
to non-productive web surfing by users.
▪▪ The site list is updated daily.
▪▪ Old listings are re-verified for changes
to their content and/or category.
Content filtering based
on DCI technology
UserGate Web Filter analyzes web
pages for specific words and phrases,
intelligently supporting the morphology
of the most popular languages. This kind
of control is applied to specific sections
of a site, without blocking the entire site
at the category or domain level. This
approach is useful for social networks,
forums, and other portals with a large
share of user-generated content (Web 2.0).
Users can create custom dictionaries for
any category or they can subscribe to
regularly updated predefined dictionaries
(for the Suicide, Terrorism, Pornography,
Bad Words, Drugs, and Gambling
word sets) in English, German, Russian,
Arabic and Japanese languages.
ICAP* support
UserGate Web Filter can perform filtering
at the level of DNS and HTTP requests.
When filtering DNS requests, UserGate
Web Filter emulates a DNS server with
extensive filtering capabilities. The
software can function either using its
own built-in full-scale proxy server
or by receiving filtering requests via
an ICAP protocol from any external
proxy server or network hub. When
filtering web traffic, UserGate Web
Filter functions as an ICAP server that
accepts ICAP client requests for filtering.
ICAP clients can include Squid proxy
servers, Microsoft ISA servers, Microsoft
TMG, Juniper and Cisco hardware, and
other products that support ICAP.
* Internet Content Adaptation Protocol
White lists and black lists
UserGate Web Filter supports white lists
and black lists of URLs. White list/black
list entries take precedence over the
filtering settings of other mechanisms.
