For pass-by monitoring and filtering, you need to setup a mirroring port in your switch. When port mirroring feature is enabled, the switch will replicate data from other ports onto a single port for monitoring purpose. Since the original packets will not be hold or delayed, port mirroring does not affect your network speed theoretically.
However, inproper port mirroring settings will cause heavy load in your switch and even cause packet loss.
So please consider the following points when configuring a mirroring port:
- Do not mirror multiple ports to one port until necessary.
- If it is required to mirror multiple ports, please make sure the total mirrored ports throughput will not exceeds the mirroring port throughput limit.
- For WFilter, mirroring the internet port is enough. Usually, only the router/firewall port needs to be mirrored.
- If your switch does not allow outgoing traffic on the mirroring port, or you're using WFilter to filter internet access for more than 50 computers, it is recommended to use two network adapters: one is for monitoring only, another one is for filtering.

The internet has been turned to an invaluable tool in business. However, the availability of internet currently has given
an important risk factor to the employer liability and at the same time
consumes the employers 90% of hours in productivity.
Therefore internet access shall be filtered and restricted to keep the working productivity of your employees.
There have several ways to filter internet access:
1. Setup an network internet filtering program.
With a filtering program, you will be able to filter internet access of all computers in your network from ONE computer only.
There have a lot such products in the market. For example, WFilter
Enterprise, or Websense Enterprise are very helpful for you to filter internet access of network computers. Passby internet filtering products usually require you to setup a mirroring port in a manageable switch. Setting up a mirroring port does no change to your network toplogly and it will not influence your network performance.
2. Setup ACL policy in your Router/Firewall/UTM. Firewall devices can
enable you to block websites/ports/ip addresses. So you also can setup
ACL rules in your firewall to block certain traffic. For more
information about UTM solution, please visit http://www.astaro.com
3. Filter websites from the dns server. You may try "opendns" solution.
Opendns solution is simple and easy to setup. However, with this
solution, there can only have one policy for your entire network.
Guest computers might come and leave for a network. However, unmanaged internet access of guest computers could be a nightmare for your network. Guest computers can consume most of your bandwidth with p2p downloading, and download copyrighted materials or virus which might be harmful.
This tutorial will guide you to setup a default internet blocking policy for guest computers with WFilter 3.3 version.
1. Set a different ip address range for guest computers.
If guest computers share a same ip address range with your existing computers, you won't be able to recognize them. For management purpose, the guest computers shall be in a different ip address range. For example:
1. Allocate all you existing computers with static ip addresses from "192.168.1.0" to "192.168.1.200".
2. In your wireless AP, set the DHCP range from "192.168.1.200" to "192.168.1.250".
Now every guest computers(mostly laptops) will get an ip address in range "192.168.1.200 - 192.168.1.250". Then you can set a blocking policy for them in WFilter.
2. Setup default blocking policies for certain ip ranges.
Now you can setup a default blocking policy for ip address in range "192.168.1.200 - 192.168.1.250". Every new computers in this ip range will be applied with this default policy.

Please notice: If you can not setup a different DHCP range for guest computers, you also can enable this "default monitoring policy" for new found computers. This feature is for WFilter to automatically configure monitoring and blocking policy when it detects a new computer. More information, please check "WFilter Enterprise".

How WFilter works to monitor and archive internet activities?WFilter is an enterprise Internet filtering software program. A business or
organization can implement its Internet communication policy into
WFilter and let it perform the work.
WFilter intercepts, records and monitors Internet behaviors of users
on a network, for the purpose of ensuring policy compliance, or
measurement on job performance in an organization. A mirroring port replicates the data from other ports or VLAN's. To monitor all internet activity, WFilter needs to be connected to a mirroring port of your switch. And the mirroring port shall be configured to mirror your internet traffic. When connected to a mirroring port, WFilter gets packet copies of all internet traffic, then decodes and saves them into log files. This is how WFilter works to monitor internet usage. For more information about how to setup port mirroring, please check: WFilter Deployment Examples.To check whether your port mirroring is properly configured, please check: How to check whether port mirroring is properly configured?If you don't have a manageable switch, you need to setup a windows gateway or proxy server to do monitoring, please check: How to monitor internet usage without a manageable switch?How WFilter works to block internet connections?Many users had asked: "Since WFilter only handles packet copies and the original packets don't pass through WFilter machine, how WFilter works to block internet connections?" Actually, there are two filtering technology: pass-through filtering and pass-by filtering. With a pass-through filtering solution, packets shall pass through the filtering product; if a packet needs to be blocked, the filtering product just drop it. However, a pass-by filtering product only handles copies of network packets, it can not hold the original packets. Therefore, it sends RST packets to terminate TCP connections. This is how WFilter works to block connections. Please notice: 1. Since WFilter needs to send RST packets to block a connection, the "blocking adapter" of WFilter shall be able to access your network. The blocking adapter shall be configured in "System Settings"->"Monitoring Settings" of WFilter. 2. Some switches do not allow outgoing traffic on the mirroring port, if so, you need to setup a separate NIC as the blocking adapter. Even outgoing traffic is allowed on the mirroring port, we recommend you to use a secondary NIC for blocking when you're managing over 100 computers. Otherwise, the monitoring adapter will be overloaded. 3. If you have multiple VLANs, the blocking adapter shall belong to a VLAN which can communicate with other VLANs. 4. Sometimes you might need to set "Automatic Metric" of the blocking adapter for windows to recognize this adapter as the primary adapter. Please check this blog topic: Blocking adapter doesn't work when using two network cards with WFilter.For more information about difference of the two filtering solutions, please check: What's the difference between Pass-by filtering and Pass-through filtering?More details about WFilter filtering technology, please check: WFilter Technologies and Security
1. What is tor ?
Tor is a system intended to enable online anonymity, composed of client software and a network of servers which can mask information about users' locations and other factors which might identify them. Use of this system makes it more difficult to trace internet traffic to the user, including visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms. It is intended to protect users' personal freedom, privacy, and ability to conduct confidential business, by keeping their internet activities from being monitored. The software is open-source and the network is free of charge to use.
Since client workstations can use tor to bypass internet filtering, so you may want to block tor traffic in your network.
In this tutorial, we will guide you to block tor traffic with "WFilter
Enterprise 3.3".
2. How to block tor with Wfilter?
Because tor uses HTTP/TLS to encrypt its traffic, we need to use "HTTPS black/white list" feature of WFilter to filter HTTPS websites to block tor.
First, create a new "HTTPS White List" and add the allowed HTTPS domains in it. As in below figure:
Enable "HTTPS black/white list" in certain blocking level settings.
Finally, apply this blocking policy to certain computers.
3. Now tor will be completely blocked.

One customer reported that BBC online video can not be blocked by WFilter, even "Block Online HTTP Video and Downloading of Video Files" is checked in certain blocking levels. So we did some research and found, other than HTTP protocol, the BBC websites also use the RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol) to play online video. Because blocking of RTMP is not supported by default in WFilter(will be added soon), this tutorial will guide you to block BBC online video by the "Customize Protocols " feature of WFilter.
First, Add a new protocol named "RTMP".  1. Protocol Settings: Protocol Name: RTMP Protocol Desc: Real Time Messaging Protocol Type: Streaming 2. Pattern1 Name: RTMP_HTTP Desc: RTMP_HTTP Type: HTTP SEND Offset: 0 Format: User-Agent Content: Shockwave\sFlash 3. Pattern2 Name: RTMP Desc: RTMP Type: TCP_SEND Offset: 0 Begin Byte: 03 Format: 0 Content: \x03[\x00-\xff]{4}\x80\x00 Second, Enable blocking of RTMP in certain blocking levels. Now, BBC videos will be successfully blocked. Related Topic: How to block bbc iplayer?
Internet can be a benefit to business when used properly, but internet
is often abused by employees and poses significant liability and
security risks. Used
improperly, the Internet can subject every organization to harassment claims,
countless hours of lost productivity and innumerable security leaks and
vulnerabilities. Several important risks caused by improper internet usage: 1. Virus Infection 2. Lost Productivity 3. Legal liability 4. Bandwidth consumer So it is necessary for you to restrict employees internet access on your network. To achieve this goal, first you need an internet access policy, which should be able to: 1. Clarify what constitutes acceptable use of Internet services. 2. Ensure employees understand who to contact with questions regarding acceptable use. 3. Ensure employees understand the penalties that arise from Internet misuse. 4. Help lessen an organization's spyware and virus infestation rates. 5. Provide human resources with signed documentation from each employee stating a pledge not to improperly use Internet services. 6. Help mitigate productivity losses. 7. Decrease dependence upon technology solutions used to enforce employee behavior. 8. Reduce the organization's liability resulting from harassment claims, copyright violations originating onsite and other illegal acts. You also need an internet filtering product to assure your internet policy. Let's take "WFilter Enterprise" as an example, it enables you to monitor and filter internet access for all computers from a mirroring port of your switch. You only need to install WFilter in one computer to monitor the whole network. Key Features:
- Keep a detailed record of each web surfing and web posting.
- Record all incoming and outgoing email content and attachment.
- Monitor and archive instance messengers chat contents and activities.
- Monitor and archive files transferred by web, ftp and IM tools.
- Implement a policy to filter internet access during working hours.
- Websites, messengers and p2p file downloading can be blocked to save bandwidth and raise productivity.
- You only need to install WFilter in ONE computer to manage your whole network.

For security purpose, you might want to block employees file uploading to internet on your network. However, since there are so many tools can be used for uploading, it is extremely difficult to block them all. Files can be uploaded in various ways: 1. Upload to certain websites, eg: webmail, file sharing websites... 2. Using msn/yahoo/icq messengers to send files. 3. Email attachments. 4. FTP 5. Other third party tools. WFilter provide a simply solution to block file uploading on company networks. Using WFilter, you can block file uploading and file transfers of all computers from ONE computer. This tutorial will guide you to block file uploading using WFilter. First, block file uploading to websites. Please notice "block uploading files via web pages" only works on HTTP websites. To control HTTPs websites, you can use "HTTPS black/white list" in "Others" of WFilter. Second, block email attachments.
 Third, block FTP and file transfer via messengers.
 Last, block unknown protocols.Blocking unknown protocols blocks file uploading using other unknown third party programs.  More information, please check "WFilter Enterprise".

Now, facebook game is blocked.
BBC iPlayer (formerly known as Integrated Media Player (iMP), Interactive Media Player, and MyBBCPlayer) is an internet television service, P2P, cable television, and several mobile devices developed by the BBC to extend its existing RealPlayer-based "Radio Player" and other streamed video clip content. As online iPlayer may consume much internet bandwidth, this tutorial will guide you to block BBC iPlayer using WFilter. We suppose WFilter is already properly installed and is capable of monitoring/blocking other computers, if not, please read How to monitor internet usage on company network first. WFilter's "website black list" is based on website domains, so we can not use "website black list" to block iPlayer, since iPlayer is a subfolder of www.bbc.co.uk without a individual domain. However, we still can use "URL Keywords Filtering" feature to block url with certain keywords. The below example demonstrates blocking of url with keyword "iplayer". 1. Create a blocking policy, and enable "URL Keywords Filtering". 2. Choose "Streaming Media" category and click the edit icon to edit its keywords list. Please notice: WFilter already has some default keywords(the default
keywords are hidden). For example, "video" is already included in the
"Streaming Media" category. If you only want to block "iplayer", you can add a new category in "Category Settings"->"Customize Categories" of WFilter. In this example, we need to add "iplayer" to the keywords list: 3. Apply this blocking policy to certain computers. 4. By now, urls with keywords "iplayer" will be blocked. More information, please check "WFilter Enterprise".

WFilter can be used to block sending/receiving emails, block sending attachments and filter email accounts. And you only need to install WFilter in one computer to monitor all computers in your network. This tutorial will guide you to block outgoing emails with attachments.
This feature can block sending of emails with attachments via SMTP protocol.
1.1 Add a new blocking level, as in the below figure:

 1.2 Set a proper "Level Name" and "Level Desc", check "Block sending emails with attachment(s)", as in Figure 2:  1.3 Apply this new blocking level to certain users in "User-computer Table", as in the below figure:  1.4 Emails with attachment(s) will be blocked, as in Figure 4: 
Some switches does not allow outgoing traffic on a mirroring port. In this case, WFilter needs a separate blocking adapter to send blocking packets. And if you're monitoring and filtering more than 100 computers, we recommend you to use a different blocking adapter as the monitoring adapter. When the two network cards are installed, we will want the Windows system to use the blocking adapter to access your network. However, sometime the Windows system might pick up the monitoring adapter and fails to connect to your network. This problem can be resolved by the "Automatic Metric" setting in Windows. A metric is a value that is assigned to an IP route for a particular
network interface that identifies the cost that is associated with
using that route. The Automatic Metric feature is configured independently for each network interface in the network. This feature is useful in situations where you have more than one
network interface of the same speed, for example, when each network
interface has been assigned a default gateway. In this situation, you
may want to manually configure the metric on one network interface, and
enable the Automatic Metric feature to configure the metric of the
other network interface. This setup can enable you to control the
network interface that is used first in the routing of IP traffic. In our case, the "Automatic Metric" of the blocking adapter shall be smaller than the monitoring adapter. So by setting "Automatic Metric" of the blocking adapter to "1", and the monitoring adapter to "2", Windows system will use the blocking adapter to access your network.  
Traffic Shaping and Prioritization is becoming more and more common in the corporate market. Most companies with remote offices are now connected via a WAN (Wide Area Network). Applications tend to become centrally hosted at the head office and remote offices are expected to pull data from central databases and server farms. As applications become more hungry in terms of bandwidth and prices of dedicated circuits being relatively high in most areas of the world, instead of increasing the size of their WAN circuits, companies feel the need to properly manage their circuits to make sure business-oriented traffic gets priority over best-effort traffic. Traffic shaping is thus a good means for companies to avoid purchasing additional bandwidth while properly managing these resources. With a linux gateway, you have a very rich set of tools for managing and manipulating the transmission of packets. More details can be found at: http://linux-ip.net/articles/Traffic-Control-HOWTO/index.html, However, sometimes it might be difficult for you to deploy a linux gateway server. This tutorial will guide to implement a passby bandwidth management solution, which enables you to manage internet bandwidth through a mirroring port on your switch. Port mirroring allows you to setup a port in the switch to receive packets of other ports. Setting up a mirror port does no change to your network topology, and it will not affect your network speed. Let's take WFilter as an example: First, setup a mirroring port.When the port mirroring is properly setup, WFilter will be able to monitor all computers internet activities.  Bandwidth Management SettingsUsing WFilter's bandwidth management feature, you can set a maximum accumulating bandwidth of each computer for a period time. In this example, each user can have 200M internet bandwidth every day. Only messengers and emails are allowed when the bandwidth limit is reached. 
You also can setup a policy to block certain users when available
internet bandwidth of the entire network is not enough. For example,
When entire network traffic exceeds 80% of available internet
bandwidth, p2p traffic will be blocked.
 Bandwidth Alert SettingsAnd the bandwidth alert feature will send you an alert email when the accumulating bandwidth of a computer is too large.  More information, please check "WFilter Enterprise".

You may assign static ip addresses to computers manually or in your DHCP server. However, it is difficult to prevent users from changing their ip addresses or mac addresses. Though it is more reasonable to setup ip-mac binding in routers or switches, software solution is also a good option, as it is easier to setup and manage.
This tutorial will guide you to bind ip addresses to mac addresses in WFilter, an internet filtering and monitoring software product.
First, you need to setup a mirror port in your switch to do monitoring. For how to deploy internet monitoring and filtering, check this guide: How to monitor internet usage?
Second, in "Control Settings"->"IP Management" of WFilter, you can setup ip-mac binding just by a few clicks.
i When ip-mac binding is setup, internet access will be blocked when the user tries to change ip address or mac address.
Please notice: "ip-mac binding" feature of WFilter only works for single segment networks. It is because the real MAC addresses of computers can not be retrieved in a multiple-segments network.
Unmanaged websites surfing is killing your productivity. And your computer and network is open to attack when visiting harmful sites. So it is important to block unwanted websites in your network. Blocking of websites can be done in many ways. These include using free software and windows settings. There are even many add-ons for browsers like Firefox which let you check and restrict websites. This tutorial will guide you to filter and block websites access in 4 ways. 1. manually editing the "host" file. In "Local Disk (C:) > WINDOWS > system32> drivers > etc", you will find a file named "host". The Hosts file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. This file is loaded into memory (cache) at startup, then Windows checks the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS. This prevents access to the listed sites by redirecting any connection attempts back to the local (your) machine. You may use "notepad.exe" to edit this Hosts file. Example - the following entry 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net blocks all files supplied by that DoubleClick Server to the web page you are viewing. 2. Opendns OpenDNS offers DNS resolution for consumers and businesses as an alternative to using their Internet service provider's DNS servers. By collecting a list of malicious sites, OpenDNS blocks access to these sites when a user tries to access them through their service. OpenDNS enables you to block websites by 50+ categories. OpenDNS also provides whitelist and blacklist features to enable you to create exception cases ("always allow" and "always block") to complement category-based filtering. To use OpenDNS service, you need to change your DNS server settings manually. More information, please visit http://www.opendns.com3. Router, Firewall or UTM If you have a powerful router or UTM device, you also can setup web filtering on it. For more information about UTM solution, please visit http://www.astaro.com4. Internet filtering products You also can use internet filtering products to do web filtering. An internet filtering product can be deployed in your network, and it enables you to monitor, filter and block internet activities of all computers from a mirroring port. More than web filtering, internet filtering product can also block file downloading, block p2p traffic and block messenger. For internet filtering software, you can try "WFilter Enterprise", http://www.imfirewall.us
Unmanaged websites surfing is killing your productivity. Employees may spend hours to read news, watch online video and play online web games. So, to save productivity, it is necessary for organizations to block certain websites and restrict internet access. You need to implement an internet policy as: 1. Only work-related websites are allowed during work time. 2. Destructive websites like violence, adult, shall be blocked always. 3. Downloading websites shall be blocked to save bandwidth if you are suffering from slow internet speed. However, in today's internet, a website can not be blocked only by blocking its ip address or domain. It is still accessable by: 1. Open proxy servers. 2. Third party tunneling proxy service. 3. Tunnel VPN service. To make your blocking effecient, you also need to block certain proxy/tunneling protocols. WFilter makes it simple to block websites and proxy service. 1. Filter certain websites
You can filter certain websites by "website black/white list" and "website category":   2. Block Proxy Service and VPN protocols.WFilter supports proxy protocol transparently. No addtional setting is required to block open proxy server. You may setup a "HTTPS black/white list" to block unwanted VPN.  More information, please check "WFilter Enterprise".

Unmanaged internet downloading can consume most of your bandwidth, In practice, many, often most, of the files shared on peer-to-peer
networks are copies of copyrighted popular music and movies.
So, it is important for corporations to manage, control and block p2p traffic and block unwanted file downloading. Files can be downloaded via various ways as described below: 1. Downloading from HTTP/FTP websites. 2. Downloading from p2p networks.
3. Downloading from instant messenger buddies. For security purpose, downloading from p2p networks shall be completely forbidden in company networks. And only HTTP/FTP downloading from trusted websites can be allowed. Instant messenger file transfer makes it convenient to share files with our friends. It is fast and secure. However, because IM is so popular, virus writers can use it to spread malicious programs. These viruses are spread, in most cases, when a person clicks a link or opens an infected file that was sent in an instant message that appeared to come from a friend. Therefore, messenger file transfer also put your network in danger. "WFilter Enterprise" makes it simple to manage file transfers between local network and the internet. Using WFilter, you may: 1. Limit file downloading size. 2. Block web downloading by file type. 3. Block web downloading by content type. (Mime type) 4. Block p2p traffic. 5. Block file transfer via messengers. Figures:

Unmanaged internet access is harmful to your business. Without proper internet monitoring and filtering, you may suffer from: 1. Lower productivity. Your employees might take hours for web surfing, chatting and watching videos. 2. Slow internet speed. P2P programs or IPTV programs can easily consume most of your bandwidth. So normal business will not have enough available bandwidth. 3. Unmanaged downloading will bring virus, worms and spyware, which is harmful to your network. 4. Leaking of business documents and materials. Therefore, it is important for you to monitor and manage employees internet activity. This guide will introduce you several aspects of deployment and usage of internet monitoring and filtering software. Please be aware that I am only going to talk about internet access monitoring, which does not include screen monitoring, USB forbiding and keystroke recording. The latter requires you to install a client agent in every computer. And internet monitoring only needs to be installed near the internet entrance. How to deploy internet monitoring software? Though internet monitoring only needs to be installed near internet entrance, it is quite different for different network topologies. For "Router<->Switch<->Computers" networks, you need to setup a mirroring port in the switch to enable monitoring. If you are using ISA or wingate proxy server, you can do monitoring right in the proxy server. How to monitor internet bandwidth? Upon properly deployed, you can easily monitor internet bandwidth and activities using internet monitoring software. Below let me take "WFilter Enterprise" as an example: Use WFilter's "Active Connections" feature, you can have a clear view of all connections in your network.  Connections of a particular computer, you can kill established connections if you want.
