Users

This feature allows you to create an individual user
account, with a unique username and password, and
restrict their web browsing by assigning them to a given
Group.

Bypassing the SOHO WebBlocker

Occasionally, you may want to allow select individuals to bypass
the filtering functions of SOHO WebBlocker. For example, if you
are using the SOHO at your remote office as a telecommuter, you
may want to block a particular category from your children while
still retaining access for the adults in the household.
The SOHO WebBlocker configuration page includes a Full Access
Password field. You can configure this password and give it to
only those members of your trusted network who should be able
bypass WebBlocker. When a site is blocked or unavailable, the user
has the option of entering the full access password. With the
password entered, the browser displays the otherwise blocked site.
After the password is entered, the user can browse any site on the
Internet until either the Password Expiration duration passes or
the individual closes the browser.

Purchasing and enabling SOHO WebBlocker

To use WatchGuard SOHO WebBlocker, you must first purchase
and enable the WebBlocker upgrade certificate. For information on
redeeming upgrade certificates, please see, “Redeeming your
SOHO upgrade certificates” on page 58.
