The Smoothwall Filter Android app provides real-time filtering, seamlessly integrating with your existing Smoothwall Cloud Filter to enforce the policies you have set.
Features
Filtering
The Android Filter app uses the same policies you set up in Smoothwall Cloud Filter to manage and control internet access for users. You must configure your filtering policies to ensure the app applies correctly. To set up the necessary filtering policies, refer to our Help Centre section on Smoothwall Filter policies.
Safeguarding Alerts
The Android Filter app not only filters content in real-time but also activity tracks user activity for potential Safeguarding Concerns. If a user attempts to access inappropriate or harmful content, the app notifies your Smoothwall Administrator or DSL depending on what you’ve set up for Safeguarding Alerts from Cloud. For help with creating and customising alerts, refer to our Help Centre section on Safeguarding Alerts.
Safeguarding Reporting
Safeguarding Reporting provides an overview of user activity and safeguarding incidents, accessible at any time. Data for safeguarding breaches is combined into reports that can be accessed through your Smoothwall Cloud or On-Premise Appliance. For help with creating and customising reports, refer to our Help Centre section on Safeguarding Reporting.
