Allow cross-domain referer

This option enables/disables the Referer item included in an HTTP header.

The Referer item includes pages that have been viewed prior to the current page. If

the Allow inter-domain referer is off, Referer items that include a server name different

from the current HTTP request will be blocked.

The Cross-domain referer function protects users’ privacy (the Referer item can be mon-

itored to see which pages are opened by each user).

12.4 Content Rating System (ISS OrangeWeb Filter)

The ISS OrangeWeb Filter module enables WinRoute to rate Web page content. Each page

is sorted into predefined categories. Access to the page will be either permitted or denied

according to this classification.

ISS OrangeWeb Filter uses a dynamic worldwide database which includes URLs and classifica-

tion of Web pages. This database is maintained by special servers that perform page ratings.

Whenever a user attempts to access a Web page, WinRoute sends a request on the page rating.

According to the classification of the page the user will be either allowed or denied to access

the page. To speed up URL rating the data that have been once acquired can be stored in the

cache and kept for a certain period.

Note:

ISS OrangeWeb Filter license, then the module behaves as a trial version only (this means

that it is automatically disabled after 30 days from the WinRoute installation and options
