Advanced Settings

You can define a series of advanced settings to further define your CFS Profile Object. These appear on a separate tab when you add or edit a CFS Profile Object. You can define the advanced settings when creating the object or you can set them later.

1. Navigate to OBJECT | Profile Objects > Content Filter.

2. Click +Add.

3. Click the Advanced tab.

   

4. Click the switch to green to Enable HTTPS Content Filtering. HTTPS content filtering is IP based, and does not inspect the URL. While HTTP content filtering can perform redirects to enforce authentication or provide a block page, HTTPS filtered pages are silently blocked.

5. Click the switch to green to Enable Smart Filtering for Embedded URI. This feature currently only applies to Google Translate, and it requires that DPI-SSL be enabled along with Content Filtering. This option is disabled by default.

   The DPI-SSH Client SSL is set on the General tab at POLICY | DPI-SSL > Client SSL.

6. Click the switch to green to Enable Safe Search Enforcement.This feature currently only applies to Yahoo and Dogpile, and for HTTPS sites, it requires that DPI-SSL be enabled along with Content Filtering, as noted above. This option is disabled by default.
7. Click the switch to green to Enable Google Force Safe Search.
8. Click the switch to green to Enable YouTube Restrict Mode.
9. Click the switch to green to Enable Bing Force Safe Search.
10. Click Save when done.
