Web Filter submission tool!

[neas15us]

Have I mentioned that UT rocks?

Just a continuation of this thought..

Why not put in an optional "automatic submission" of any sites stuffed into the UT server's list? The site's have to be reviewed before they are listed anyway so why make the user press the button at all? Just ask for the OK to take that info from the start and use it to build the master list directly.

you mean like a signature like anti viruses use?

No simpler, just snag all the blocks people put in their web filter spit them into the submissions database on a regular interval and evaluate them. Of course I'm operating on the assumption that A.) the UT server's owner gave permission, and B.) No one is going to stuff a page into the web filter that really doesn't need filtering. I'm betting that if a page is on that list, it probably belongs is at least one of the web filter categories.

i think there should be an advertisement category in the web filter

not a bad idea.
but we can only look at people's settings that have checked the 'give untangle access' checkbox in config->support. Even then we tread very lightly on interacting with people's machines.

Besides, people probably put weird stuff in their block list!

I'd also like to see an advertising category.

So make a opt-in configuration for the web filter that has it package up and send in new items on the list every x hours... That way you guys don't have to dig into the servers on your end and the client gets the warm fuzzy.

yep, that may be the better way to do the integration.
that and a one-click add in the eventlog to add the the blocklist (or passlist if blocked)

elitehackers.com

I just submitted it for removal because it is in the porn list. It really should be in the hacking list. While you're at it add elitehackers.org to the hacking list as well.

I see bulkregister.com is in the spyware block list. Anyone have info on why? I've been using bulkregister.com for all my domains (40+) for at least 6 years now.

Right now, I've just been unblocking it every time I want to go there as I don't want to remove it for everyone if there is a reason.
