It is possible to set different filtering settings on a computer with WiFree 3 installed than on the pre-filtered Internet line. For example, an office with several computers on one pre-filtered Internet connection, and the Internet line setting is to open everything that is allowed in NetFree without restriction, and you want a particular computer to have different filtering settings and only certain sites to be open, without changing the setting for all computers on the same connection.
Here are the instructions:
💡
To get the most out of it, we will briefly write about filter settings and profiles here, to better understand the options:
On the Filter Settings page of each Netfree account, there is an option to create different filter profiles, so that in each profile you can open/block certain websites and more, and activate a specific profile whenever you want.
You can also create several profiles, and in each profile you open/close different addresses, and then create an activation profile that combines them:
ie, at a certain time profile A will be activated, at another time profile B, and at another time profile ‘everything open’, and at another time profile ‘everything closed’, and so on.
Now, if there are several connections registered in the same account, for example - a network that provides employees with Internet connections and the connections are registered under one account, and you want to define different websites and different hours of operation for each connection - set Next to each connection ID, a specific 'Activation Profile' that we created above, and.. the connection will behave according to the activation profile that is defined for it.

Now let's get back to WiFree 3:
Each computer on which Wi-Fire 3 software is installed has a unique ID, and we can use it to configure filtering settings by computer. First - On the computer where the software is installed, go to here, and copy the unique ID after the word “key” between the quotation marks [12-digit/letter ID]:
Now, take this unique ID and enter it on the Filter Settings page of the account you are currently browsing.
Click 'Add' and immediately it appears that a new connection ID has been added to us - the Wifree 3 software ID. Now, under the 'Activation' heading, select a specific activation profile from the profiles we created (or, under 'Temporary Profile' select one of the filtering profiles), and... that's it! - From now on, this particular computer will surf according to the profile that was defined.
If there are several computers that we want to restrict at home/office, we will repeat the above operation and attach to each ID a specific profile that we want, and that's it.
The same ID can be defined in different accounts - with different restrictions, but the definition will only take effect when the computer is surfing on this network [see below for more details]
Notes
- This definition is only useful for 'this network only', ie, if you take the computer and surf on another NetFree network, surfing will be according to the new network - and as it was until now - because a connection always receives the settings of the network through which it is currently surfing. [Unless this ID was also defined on a specific profile in the new network - just like in the previous case].
- It is possible to set a more open profile for a specific computer only if at the 'connection level' the site is open, ie, if the connection on which surfing is performed is defined on Closed plan it is no longer possible to open a specific computer using a Wifree 3 ID.
- Also, if a certain website is closed in the original account due to Kehilla Settings, it is no longer possible to open a specific computer using a Wifree 3 ID, just as if we now attach a new connection to the account, which will receive the original restriction.
[Unlike a paid Wifree 3 connection, there is indeed the possibility of opening more of the network you are surfing on, because the connection functions as a completely separate connection, with different plan settings. It can also be registered in another account with different filtering settings and where there are no Kehilla restrictions].
