Check to block proxy servers. A proxy server (or
proxy) allows computers to route the connections to
other computers through the proxy, thus circumventing
certain firewall rules.
For example, if the connections to a specific IP address
are blocked by a firewall rule, the requests can be
routed through a proxy that is not blocked by the rule,
rendering the restriction ineffective.
Check to block Java applets.
Java applets are small programs embedded in web
pages that enable dynamic functionality of the page. A
malicious applet can be used to compromise or infect
computers.
Check to block cookies.
Cookies are used to store session information by
websites that usually require login. However, several
websites use cookies to store tracking information and
browsing habits.
Many websites require that cookies be accepted in
order for the site to be accessed properly. Blocking
cookies can cause many websites to not function
properly.
Check to block ActiveX content.
Similar to Java applets, ActiveX controls are installed
on a Windows computer while running Internet
Explorer. A malicious ActiveX control can be used to
compromise or infect computers.
Enter the port number that is used for filtering HTTP
traffic. The firewall only monitors and controls the
website visits through this HTTP port.
