Internet Restriction Software BrowseControl v3.3 Now Features Off-Site Internet Access Control

May 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Manchester, UK - Codework Ltd announce the release of BrowseControl Version3.3 with enhanced scheduling capabilities and the ability to enforce policies on off-site systems.

BrowseControl helps restrict inappropriate surfing and enforce Internet usage policies in an organisation. The software can completely block internet, allow access only to Web sites specified, deny web access to the websites specified, and schedule internet ON at certain times of day. E-mail, FTP sites, Instant Messaging, ICQ and Newsgroups can also be restricted.

In addition to restricting internet activity BrowseControl includes an Application Blocker, which allows users to specify software applications they want to block from running. This can be useful in preventing users from using games, messaging programs, P2P applications or any unauthorised software.

Following the release of version 3.3, BrowseControl now addresses other areas of internet restriction. In particular the new features address off-site internet access and an enhanced scheduler.

• Offsite Internet Access Control
Ensure that your organization’s Internet permission policies are enforced on offsite systems as well. Allowed/Blocked lists, AppBlocker settings and any other BrowseControl settings can be configured to extend to laptops/workstations used by offsite or mobile users.

• Scheduler Enhanced
To permit your users, Internet access at lunch time or outside work hours, assign a schedule to the specific group of users/computers. At the allocated scheduled time, permit full Internet access or allowed partial access to non-work related sites that are pre-selected by the administrator/manager.

“Internet abuse is a growing concern for many companies and educational establishments, and with the workspace becoming ever more mobile it is not just ‘on-site’ staff that require monitoring. BrowseControl now provides a complete solution to address today’s mobile workspace.” Says Su Pabari, Product Manager.
