How WebBlocker Works
WebBlocker uses a database of Web site addresses controlled by
SurfControl®, a Web filter company.
When a user on your network tries to connect to a Web site, the Fire-
box® X Edge sees if the WebBlocker database contains the Web site. If
the Web site is not in the database or not blocked, the page opens. If
WebBlocker stops the Web site from appearing, a notification appears.
