Filtering of Search Engine Images

[sunflower]

Can Untangle filter out the catched images from the search engines? I did a search on both Yahoo! & Google search engine and using its catched contents, I can view the pornography images. I have the Pornography turns on to 'block and log' (this is the default anyway).

Not at this time. What you can do in the meantime, use the custom URL to block images.google.com
The reason it doesnt work, you are going to a legit site, images.google.com that is why it allows the pictures to show.
Other options, make sure all the users are using the safe search settings:
SafeSearch Filtering
Google's SafeSearch blocks web pages containing explicit sexual content from appearing in search results.
Use strict filtering (Filter both explicit text and explicit images)
Use moderate filtering (Filter explicit images only - default behavior)
Do not filter my search results.

Another solution, use the Web filter, MIME types, and block the image/gif, image/jpeg, pretty much all the image/ .

Hope someday that it will be in Untangle features.

We just can't block the whole site images.google.com or control the users with SafeSearch filtering from Google site or block all images with MIME filtering. If I do that I won't be able to see the screenshots of Untangle GUI :) or your ID face.

What do we have network security gateway for? Ask users to do this and that or just let them see with what we are allowed.

One thing that I also noticed that if you use someone web proxy server out there, it could also allow to by pass the filter.

Yeah, we've been talking about this feature - it would be cool! :)

Great. My wife & I like your avatar. Really funny :) If I block images MIME filtering, I can see it.

Adding proxy filtering would be cool too since you can redirect and filter both just as you use squid & content filtering (danguardian or URLBlacklist.com, etc...) Block web traffic and redirect to local proxy server to prevent user from using outside proxy to get away from the GW. (Assum that it's block all outbound traffic and only allow certain ports that need to open - tide security for outbound)

I'm not sure if this is going to be part of 5.1 or not but I am quite curious to see if this will be included in the upcoming release?

Thanks.

Sorry for the thread hijacking, but how do you enable Google Safe Search through Untangle?

[mdh]

Google Safe Search is a Google function. Untangle has no control over that.

I know it is a Google function, but I have seen appliances and software that can force that on for you. Smoothwall, 8e6, Lightspeed, and others. Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to implement, but I could be wrong.
