ITP Website Filtering Service PDF Print E-mail

The IT Partnership provides the configuration of a Website Filtering Services using the servers and services of OpenDNS which is the world's most intelligent DNS service. Our Internet connection services along with OpenDNS's global network and our software work together symbiotically to offer a set of features custom-tailored to you, without requiring you to buy any hardware or install any software.

How it works:

The service works by intercepting a web address typed into a web browser like Internet explorer and routing it through state of art DNS servers that direct the request to the web site as per preset criteria defined by the Network Administrator.

1-Content Filtering

Not everything on the Internet is welcome on your network. Decide what to block on your networks with easy-to-use, powerful content filtering options. Choose from dozens of categories, ranging from social networking to gambling to webmail and more.

2-Phishing Protection

OpenDNS operates PhishTank.com, the world's most trusted source of phishing data. OpenDNS integrates that data into intelligence feed on  DNS servers to keep everyone on your network safe from phony sites trying to steal personal information.

3-Domain Blocking

You want to secure your network and have control over what resolves. We give you that control by providing the tools to block any website or DNS zone on the Internet, all through an easy-to-use interface.

4-Adult Site Blocking

Safeguard your kids, protect your students, or limit your corporate liability by blocking adult websites. Our adult site blocking solution can be deployed in minutes and provides granular levels of blocking. Hundreds of school districts are already using OpenDNS to achieve CIPA compliance. 5-

5-Web Proxy Blocking

Prevent people on your network from bypassing the access restrictions you put in place. Blocking Web proxies helps ensure your network remains secure.

6-Domain Whitelisting

OpenDNS provides a deep list of Web content filtering categories to block, but sometimes there is a domain you want to make sure is never blocked, even if it's listed in a feed. Have the final say with our Domain Whitelisting feature.

7-Statistics

Understand your Web traffic with intuitive stats about your network's DNS. This is your data, and now you can view it like never before. And of course, if you don't want stats, we won't collect any DNS data from you, at all.

8-OpenDNS Guide

The OpenDNS Guide is the page your users see when they go to a website that doesn't exist or isn't resolving. We provide search results and offer suggestions to help your users get back on their way. This includes the use of our industry-leading domain spellchecking service to save them time and make them more productive.

9-Customization

We want what you want: happy users who feel comfortable using OpenDNS. Customize and brand our OpenDNS Guide and blocked pages, replacing our logo with your own. Show the users on your network that what they are seeing is trusted and safe.

10-Typo Correction

We don't think you should be punished with an annoying error message if you make a small typo, like typing google.cmo instead of google.com. That's why we correct that typo and thousands more like it every day.

11- Shortcuts

Shortcuts are like AOL keywords that you control. Set up a simple shortcut like "help" that people on your network can use to find your company IT helpdesk, or "HR" that takes them to your company HR Web site. You can set up network shortcuts and still let all the users on your network create their own.

The use of the OpenDNS service is FREE . The IT Partnership offers an Installation and Configuration service tailored to work within your network for £ 180 + VAT. We will provide support for this service as part of our regular network support services at our regular network support rates.
