which is a nuisance or dangerous.

Browse Control Components
Browse Control has two components:
Server Component (Console) - This
component includes a Management Console
that allows the administrator to control
Internet access to Client PCs. This console
can be installed on any Windows PC (server
or workstation). A password can be set on
the Browse Control Server so that you will
be prompted for your password when trying
to run the Console. This will secure the
server from being used by any unauthorized
user.
Client Component - to be installed
on all PCs that need to be managed by the
Browse Control Server. The client is password
protected and can also be hidden for extra
security. Installation is very easy, it
can be installed manually on each PC or
by login script. The client runs transparently
on the PC.
Enable/Disable Internet Access
Totally block Internet access.
Scheduler
Schedule specific time slots during the
day, week or month when Internet access
is allowed. This can also be done on an
individual PC or Group level with different
allowed access times depending on your needs.
Timer
Allows Internet ON or Internet OFF for
a certain number of minutes.
Allow Access to Certain URLs
Create a table of “Whitelist”
sites which users are allowed to access
to (e.g. Intranet, Project specific sites,
course specific sites).
Deny Access to Certain URLs
Create a table of “Blacklist”
sites which users will be blocked from visiting.
This can help to enhance your systems' setup
if you already have a filter running. You
can add the sites you want to block.
