NetFox gives you the power to see what your users are doing on the web. It combines content filtering, real-time reporting, billing and accounting on a single appliance - effective Internet management has never been easier.
NetFox's browser-based reports provide simple summary views that can
quickly drill-down to more detailed information. For example, view the
most popular websites for an organisation then, with a single click, view the
users that have accessed one of those sites. You can even share reports
with management, teaching staff or other users, which allows IT
administrators the freedom to focus on other work.
NetFox reporting works in real-time. All traffic is processed as-it-happens
and logged to an SQL database. An advanced reporting optimiser means
that you get reports that are both accurate to within the last few seconds
and quick to generate.
NetFox doesn't just filter URLs. It filters actual page content as well. This means that filtering is more accurate and can react to the constantly changing web. It's also fast - users do not notice a decrease in access speeds when filtering is enabled. Unlike traditional content filters, NetFox can help stop access to proxy sites as well as video or social networking sites. What's more, you don't have to block entire domains to block a site, NetFox can automatically block pages that are inappropriate while still allowing access to other pages from that domain.
With NetFox it's easy to charge your users for Internet access. Simply assign a quota of a few dollars or so, either by group or user and set a charge rate. You can even allow users to recharge their accounts with one of our coin or note loaders. But it doesn't stop there. You can assign different charge rates for different circumstances. For example, a school might allow free access to all .edu sites. Or, a business might charge higher rates specifically for downloads of MP3 files. And even if you don't want to actually charge your users, it's nice to know how much Internet access is costing you!
Why pay for a separate proxy and cache as well as your content filter or reporting software? NetFox includes the industry leading Squid proxy cache, used by businesses, universities and schools across the world. NetFox makes your proxy easy to manage and keep up to date. Plus, it reduces your total cost of ownership by including all the necessary tools on the one system for the one price. NetFox can even be clustered for large environments for redundancy or speed. It has been developed with performance and scalability in mind, and will scale to almost any size.

Since implementing NetFox we have been impressed with not only its ability to handle the volume of Internet requests but, just as significantly, the dependability and flexibility of its filtering system.
