Content Filtering

The content filtering system disables the display of a certain category websites on some or all computers in a CARNET member institution. Each page on the Internet is categorized with respect to the content it offers, and traffic is filtered by choosing categories that are not to be displayed. Pages are continually categorized, and new versions of the database are automatically checked every few hours. At the request of CARNET users specific page can also be manually approved or prohibited.
