WatchGuard SOHO
WebBlocker
WatchGuard SOHO WebBlocker is an optional feature of the WatchGuard
SOHO and SOHOtc that provides Web site filtering capabilities. It enables
you to exert fine control over the types of Web sites users on your private
network are allowed to view.

divided into categories based on content such as Drug Culture, Intoler-

WatchGuard copies the database to our Web site at regular intervals.
