Step 4: Set Library Updates
After verifying that the ProxyBlocker is correctly installed on your network, you need to
activate ProxyBlocker library updates. Library updates are critical for filtering as new
sites are added to the 8e6 library each day. To activate updates, visit the 8e6 Technolo-

ed on the product invoice).
NOTE: Port 443 (HTTPS) must be open for outgoing requests so that the
ProxyBlocker can receive library updates.
