Personal filter settings

Home Page > Personal Filter Settings

The problems of using the Internet are not only exposure to forbidden and problematic content, but also the use of the Internet for entertainment and exposure to new worlds that do not fit the Charedi way of life. There is also an issue of internet addiction, in which one can end up wasting hours on end of precious time. Some users need extensive use of the internet, these users will need all the clean space NetFree allows, But many users do not need all the space, only the categories of sites used for their work. In addition, there are many users who want to limit usage to certain hours. NetFree has therefore created the Personal Filter Settings.

Personal Profiles

What is a personal profile and what can it do?

All personal settings are done within a profile, and you can create several of profiles. At any time you can run another saved profile.You can also create and delete profiles freely. There is a default profile that cannot be deleted and determines the settings each time there is no other profile. You can also set a schedule for the profiles. That is, instead of manually switching, set fixed times for applying a particular profile.

A profile can do many things, including opening and closing the internet by site and by time according to the users needs.

Setting the rules of what is open and what is closed in your profile

At the top of the profile it says "All sites in the system are open/closed Except the sites listed below"

Clicking on open/closed changes the function, whether everything is open besides the exceptions or everything is closed besides the exceptions. Whatever is decided here, becomes the "default profile status".

Now that we have set up the "default profile status", we can set up the exceptions. Even though we have set up the "default profile status"-all is open or closed, simply, all the exceptions should be the opposite the "default profile status", but there is still an option to make an exception for each exception in the profile, to be open or closed. The reason for this is, if for example you set the "default profile status" to be open, and an exception for all .com sites to be closed, you can make an exception for that exception that chase.com should be open.

There are 2 ways to set a profile: by category or by individual site.

Setting by site category

A site category or Tag, is a label that includes all sites of its kind, for example "Banks" includes all the sites that are banking sites.

Settling conflicts in category settings

Any site that is not in any category which was set in the profile, will get the "default profile status". If the site is listed under open categories AND closed categories, then it goes by vote, If most of the categories that this site is in are set in your profile to be open, then the site will be open, if most of the categories that this site is in are set in your profile to be closed then the site will be closed. If it is a tie, then it falls back to the to the "default profile status".

Note: Exceptions of individual sites override exceptions of category.
