Since X-Stop is fully integrated with Microsoft Proxy Servers, the XLM 4.0 version can block Web sites and monitor search engines when using Microsoft Internet Explorer. It can also provide usage reports for both organizations and individual users. In addition, the XLM 4.0 allows administrators to set filtering criteria for an individual IP or groups of IP's and Windows NT user names. The X-Stop XLM 4.0 allows administrators to set different filtering criteria for an individual IP or groups of IPs. When the user or group is validated on the Windows NT server, the X-Stop XLM 4.0 applies the filtering setting to the user, which is based on predetermined filtering rules.
Administrators can easily manage content policy without re-creating separate groups or users.
This allows management to control non-work related Internet activity. The new Internet Usage Monitoring system gives administrators the option of reporting all web activities. The monitoring system can also be disabled, which allows administrators to free up Windows NT resources for increased performance. In addition, the X-Stop XLM 4.0 provides administrators detailed activity reports by individual IP address, which includes sites visited, time spent on sites and the category of the sites visited. If the X-Stop XLM 4.0 service is stopped, administrators have the security by choosing to block or allow all Internet access.
