SonicWall CFS

This allows you to configure client Content Filtering Service (CFS) settings in SonicOS. The default SonicWall Content Filtering Service policy is available without a CFS subscription. With a valid advanced CFS subscription, you can create custom CFS policies and apply them to network zones or to groups of users within your organization.

After you have configured a CFS policy, you can configure client content filtering settings.

SonicOS offers client content filtering protection on a subscription-basis through a partnership with McAfee.
