With over three billion Internet users globally, the need for filtered Internet has become a necessity for homes, schools and business alike. Safernet Technologies has announced the launch of a cloud-based Web filtering product that caters for all these markets. A product that is effective, easy to use and comes at a very affordable price.
Safernet Web Filtering is a cloud-based DNS Web filtering system designed to protect devices and business networks by filtering Internet content through an advanced categorisation engine.
"The idea behind Safernet is to bring safe Internet within reach of all, while at the same time being inexpensive and uncomplicated," quoted Anton Prinsloo, Director and Co-Founder of Safernet Technologies.
Safernet Web Filtering is ideal for use by individuals, households, businesses, schools and anywhere where device or network protection is required. The product does not require an IT professional to manage and monitor it and provides many benefits over traditional firewall products.
Some of the benefits associated with Safernet Web Filtering include:
* Protect all devices on a network, including PCs, Macs, phones, tablets and gaming consoles.
* Cloud-based DNS filtering means that no on-site hardware is required (unless opting for the on-site Safernet Solution)
* Block Web sites based on category or via a blocklist feature.
* Allow/disallow access to certain Web sites on certain users/devices.
* Protection from spyware and phishing sites.
* Protection from botnet infections.
* Save Internet bandwidth by disabling access to certain download and/or video/music streaming sites.
* Implement time controls along with other custom policies.
* Simple to setup, configure and manage.
* Fixed monthly cost and no yearly renewal fees or hidden costs.
* Households are classified as a "single" user, thus making it extremely affordable for any household to implement.
* Internet usage and Web site block reporting.
* On-the-fly Web site categorisation.
The company is also testing a new version of the client updater that will provide additional content filtering features like Google SafeSearch integration and the ability to block unsafe applications.
"Since installing Safernet Web Filtering on our network and implementing certain time constraints and policies, our Internet is more stable during critical times of the day. We are very happy with the simplicity and effectiveness of Safernet as a whole and highly recommend it to any school, home or business," said Angela Sarga of Rhenish Girls High School.
