Monitoring of Network Connections |
In this section: •Managing Operation of the Network Connection Monitor. •Problems with SpIDer Gate Operation. Continuous control of established network connections is performed by SpIDer Gate. It restricts access to websites added to user black lists or marked as unwanted for visiting. In addition, SpIDer Gate scans: •incoming and outgoing email messages; •files downloaded from the internet. If SpIDer Gate detects a threat in the scanned object, SpIDer Gate blocks its receiving or sending. The Dr.Web for Linux graphical management interface allows you to configure the operation of SpIDer Gate: ▫Start and stop the network connection monitor. ▫View the number of scanned and blocked objects and attempts to access websites. ▫Configure the following parameters of network connection monitoring: oSelect a type of traffic to be scanned (web traffic, FTP traffic). oList of websites and hosts access to which is restricted. oPersonal black and white lists of websites and hosts. oParameters of scanning files downloaded from the internet. The threats in email messages can be detected by the enabled file system monitor SpIDer Guard at the moment of their saving by the mail client to the local file system.
