The Consent tab allows you to enforce content filtering on designated computers and provide optional filtering on other computers. Consent can be configured to require the user to agree to the terms outlined in an Acceptable Use Policy window before Web browsing is allowed.
Require Consent - Activates SonicWALL consent features.
Maximum Web usage is __ minutes - In an environment where there are more users than computers, such as a classroom or library, time limits are often imposed. The SonicWALL can be used to remind users when their time has expired by displaying the page defined in the Consent page URL field. Enter the time limit, in minutes, in the Maximum web usage field. When the default value of zero (0) is entered, this feature is disabled.
User Idle Timeout is 5 minutes (configure here) - After a period of Web browser inactivity, the SonicWALL requires the user to agree to the terms outlined in the Consent page before accessing the Internet again. To configure the value, follow the link to the Users window and enter the desired value in the User Idle Timeout section.
Consent page URL (Optional Filtering) - When a user opens a Web browser on a computer requiring consent, they are shown a consent page and given the option to access the Internet with or without content filtering. You must create this Web (HTML) page. It can contain the text from, or links to an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). This page must contain links to two pages contained in the SonicWALL, which, when selected, tell the SonicWALL if the user wishes to have filtered or unfiltered access. The link for unfiltered access must be <192.168.168.168/iAccept.html> and the link for filtered access must be <192.168.168.168/iAcceptFilter.html>, where the SonicWALL LAN IP Address is used instead of "192.168.168.168".
“Consent Accepted” URL (Filtering Off) - When a user accepts the terms outlined in the Consent page and chooses to access the Internet without the protection of Content Filtering, they are shown a Web page confirming their selection. Enter the URL of this page in the “Consent Accepted” (Filtering Off) field. This page must reside on a Web server and be accessible as a URL by users on the LAN.
“Consent Accepted” URL (Filtering On) - When a user accepts the terms outlined in the Consent page and chooses to access the Internet with the protection of Content Filtering, they are shown a Web page confirming their selection. Enter the URL of this page in the “Consent Accepted” (Filtering On) field. This page must reside on a Web server and be accessible as a URL by users on the LAN.
When a user opens a Web browser on a computer using mandatory content filtering, a consent page is displayed. You must create the Web page that appears when the Web browser is opened. It can contain text from an Acceptable Use Policy, and notification that violations are logged or blocked.
This Web page must reside on a Web server and be accessible as a URL by users on the LAN. This page must also contain a link to a page contained in the SonicWALL that tells the SonicWALL that the user agrees to have filtering enabled. The link must be <192.168.168.168/iAcceptFilter.html>, where the SonicWALL LAN IP Address is used instead of "192.168.168.168".
Type the URL of this page in the Consent page URL (Mandatory Filtering) field and click Update. Once the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming the update is displayed at the bottom of the Web browser window.
The SonicWALL can be configured to enforce content filtering for certain computers on the LAN. Enter the IP addresses of these computers in the Add New Address field and click Update. Up to 128 IP addresses can be entered.
To remove a computer from the list of computers to be filtered, highlight the IP address in the Mandatory Filtered IP Addresses list and click Delete Address.
