URL Category Filtering (add-on)
Control the Internet access of your employees or students with the comprehensive pre-defined URL category database. Covering more than 100 URL categories, administrators can easily block objectionable web sites through a diverse range of categories.
White and Black List

Block Programs and Chat
Increase the productivity of your employees or students by blocking them from running any games (solitaire, hearts, freecell and more), chat programs (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Google Talk, Gmail, MySpace IM, Facebook Chat) and other disruptive software on your network.
