Even a simple search on a search engine can lead to offensive content / violent.
For example Websites belonging to the following categories :Sex, Hardcore,
Porn, Drugs, Violence, Alcohol, Gambling...
Dangerous Contents : On Internet there are more and more websites offering dangerous contents.
Such as Phishing (Spoofing Sites), Hacking, ...
Discretion : More and more websites have the tendency to monitor your activities and your behavior on Internet.
Do not let them spy on you by protecting yourself against such practices through our category Tracking.

You simply need to choose among the different categories the ones you want to protect your employees against.
We do the work for you and therefore there is no need for you (as it's often necessary in web control software available on the market)
to fill out lists of websites to block or unblock, everything is now automatic depending on your choice of categories.
Time Management :
With UnveilTech WebFilterBox you can control the time your employees / users spend online by
defining by period of time (30 minutes slots) for each single day of the week when you allow them to surf specific web categories.
In your settings, you can assign different time control rules for each web category. For example you may want your users to use Social Networks only during lunch breaks.
This will certainly help you to increase your users productivity by making sure that they will stay focused on their professional tasks.
Many search engines (eg Google, Bing, Yahoo, ...) offer an option called SafeSearch for filtering results found (websites, images, ...) against sexual contents (adult, child pornography, ...).
Despite efforts brought by these engines to make Internet a better place, this not so often used option is at the sole discretion of each single user who can decide to use
or not to use it (option often available in the parameters of the search engines). With our solution, you can force systematic use of this option for all users who
then won't be able to disable at will. This is an excellent first level of content filtering and especially for image searches.

viruses before they end up on your devices during your downloads.
Also, among the 92 categories that our solution offers to filter the Web, some of the categories are specifically dedicated

by mimic trustworthy entities (official sites) to capture personal information (user name, address, email, credit card, pin code, ...)
Blocking Web Sites and Unveil Technology's database :
This database is a combination of our own technologies and multiple trusted sources. Yet Tens of thousands of new websites appear every day.
Unveil Technology strives to keep its database up to date but there we may have missed to categorize a new website.
In this case, each client can also participate in a very simple manner to the common effort of categorizing the web by classifying himself the said website.
The more the participation, the faster the web is categorized and therefore faster everyone can enjoy, it's the power of the Community.
Of course, before making available to all customers Unveil Technology verifies the provided information.
In any case, you enjoy the updates to our database in the cloud in real time.
Unblocking Web Sites by Users :
If for some reasons a WebSite that belongs to a web category that you decided to block shouldn't be blocked at all then you can easily decide in the Console
for each category (among the 92) which one you want to allow your users to unblock web sites by themselves when needed. In such case you won't need to do the unblocking
by yourself after receiving an email notification requesting you that one of your users wants you to unblock a specific WebSite. This is really convenient as users won't
need to wait for you to act, WebSites will then be unblocked in real-time. It's up to you to decide for each category if you want to trust your users for unblocking WebSites.
In any case you still keep control since you are able to see who did it and when it was done. You also can disagree with your user choice and chose to block this WebSite again.
Remote Management :
With your Web Console you can keep control of your configuration and manage it from anywhere (from home, office, on the road)
and from any device connected to Internet (PC, Mac, tablet, mobile, ...).
Need to Speed up your Internet Surfing ?
Increase your Internet Bandwidth by optimizing it :
It's been already several years since the bandwidth of your Internet hasn't increase (sometime it has decreased) yet
the number of connected devices at home (PC, Mac, Tablet, Smartphone, Video, ...) has increased significantly,
forcing us to share the same bandwidth with multiple data-intensive communicating devices.
Our solution UnveilTech WebFilterBox not only allows you to conveniently filter your Internet traffic
but it also helps to greatly increase the speed of your Internet line by keeping different already downloaded objects into cache memory.
Later when identical objects/pages are again requested by users they will be rapidly retrieved from memory thus saving a lot of bandwidth by
not having to download them again and again
Cache all Video, Music, Image, Library and CDNs traffic :New !
When a web video or music is accessed first time by one of your users, UnveilTech WebFilterBox automatically and transparently caches it on its hard disk.
Every following request to this same Web video/music will be read from your UnveilTech WebFilterBox hard drive (Cache Video) and your bandwidth will not be used again and again.
An average video/music on Youtube is about 40Mb in size (720p/3:30 minutes). Imagine this video goes viral among your users and 100 of them want to watch it.
It'll cost you 4,000Mb of data. But when you are using UnveilTech WebFilterBox Cache Video feature, it'll only need to download the first time this web video/music: 40Mb of data.
There are some WebSites that consume too much of your Internet Bandwidth (e.g. Video, Music streaming, online games, ...)
UnveilTech WebFilterBox can help you to deal with such problem by allowing you to choose for which WebSites
you desire to apply bandwidth usage limitation.
Reduce the Response Time of the Web Servers :
Further, through an intelligent mechanism, the solution UnveilTech WebFilterBox accelerates access (DNS) to websites by
saving on memory IP addresses of already visited web servers. Response time of Web servers are thereby significantly reduced (up to 10 times faster than normal).
Is your Internet traffic 100% legal ?
Make sure you always stay compliant with the laws in your country :
Listening to music or watching videos streamings from foreign websites which do not have the necessary permissions
rights and/or downloading files from these websites may expose you to legal remedies right holders.
Block these sites to prevent any member of your employees from not respecting the laws.
By blocking these counter-productive websites will not only increase your employee efficiency but it will also immediately improve
your Web surfing experience by freeing a significant part of your bandwidth
Comprehensive Activity Log Files :
Every day, our solution provides you with activity log report files, allowing you if needed to do a thorough analysis to understand who did what with internet connection
The console not only gives you a very convenient view of real-time log activities but also provides an easy way to view the log files of previous days.
Daily Activities Log files are kept for you as long as there is sufficient disk space on your appliance so they ca nbe retrieved whenever you need them.
Who is connected to your Internet Line ?
Knowing who is connecting your Internet line is not easy & obvious, knowing what they are doing with it is another story.
Make sure that no employee in your company is able to anonymize and hide his traffic from you (e.g. Proxy Avoidance like hidemyass.com, Torrent, ...)
Filter Specific File Extension to Prevent File Downloads :
As the Internet line holder you don't want anyone to play with your liability without your consent. If you want to prevent your users from
downloading some type of files just because it can be either illegal or because they are dangerous and can contain viruses, you can block
downloads of file by their extension name.
