Newsgroup Filtering

ContentBarrier X5 can filter Usenet newsgroups, which offer discussion forums using a specific

protocol and software. To activate newsgroup filtering for a selected user, check the “Block

newsgroups” box.

This setting will only block newsgroups that are accessed through such software, and will not affect

those that are displayed on a web page. However, you can block those web sites by checking the

“Newsgroups” category in the Web filtering screen. (For more information, see the section, “Web

Filtering”.)

There are no options for newsgroup filtering; it is either active or inactive.

FTP Filtering

ContentBarrier X5 can filter incoming or outgoing “file transfer protocol”, or FTP, which is

commonly used for exchanging files among computers. To activate FTP filtering for a selected user,

check the “Block FTP” box.

This setting will only block file transfers that take place using FTP’s default port 21 and SFTP’s

default port 22, either through an FTP program or through a web browser pointed at URLs that

begin with “ftp://”. It will not stop files transferred using other methods, such as HTTP download or

peer-to-peer programs.

There are no options for FTP filtering; it is either active or inactive.
