Flexible Filtering for Mobile Users
The Guide Mobile Filter extends policies and protection when computers are off the network.
Mobile Internet filtering reduces the cost, downtime, and frustration associated with computers
that have a tendency to be compromised while off the network. Whether your mobile users are part
of a 1:1 initiative or just staff bringing laptops on and off the network, our filtering solution
will protect them and enforce your acceptable use policies.
The Guide Mobile Filter includes:
- Internet filtering
- Reporting of off-network activity
- Local policy control (Active Directory)
- Forced SafeSearch for Google and Yahoo search engines
- Secure proxy site controls
- Local policy control (Active Directory and LDAP)
- Password-protected uninstall
What is more, this mobile filter fully supports PCs, Macs, Citrix clients, NComputing terminals,
and other thin clients no matter where they connect to the Internet.
How the Guide Mobile Filter Works
The Guide Mobile Filter communicates Internet-browser requests from the remote computer to a
Lightspeed server at the district. In turn, the Lightspeed Server references the URL requests
with its content database and either allows the request to be processed or sends a blocking
and redirect message to the user. In this way acceptable use policies are consistently enforced
for users alternately attached to the local network and working remotely. The Guide Mobile
Filter protects off-network computers from any location, with any type of Internet
connection—without the need for a VPN connection.
