Netsweeper is extremely effective in denying access to anonymous proxies (used to by-pass filtering systems). A Netsweeper policy administrator simply ensures that the ‘anonymous proxy’ selection in the category list is checked. Netsweeper has two sources for maintaining its database of anonymous proxies. Our A.I. system continuously inspects/categorizes new URLs. Netsweeper also subscribes to several services which supplement our own categorization engine (with newly discovered Anonymous proxies).
