The Android Filter 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. Refer to our Help Centre section on Web Filtering.
Safeguarding Alerts
The Android Filter app not only filters content in real-time, but also 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 Portal. For help with creating and customising alerts, refer to our Help Centre section on Safeguarding Alerts.
Reporting
Cloud Reports provide an overview of user activity and safeguarding incidents, accessible at any time. Refer to our Help Centre sections on Cloud Reports and Safeguarding Reporting.
