Internet filtering is the process by which requests for sites on the Internet are inspected and then allowed or denied based on a set of "filtering" criteria. Filtering can either take place at the client or server level. WiscNet offers both centralized and local filtering solutions from the 8E6.Com Company that uses R3000 servers augmented by high-speed Blue Coat web cache servers.

Our local filtering solution even blocks access to filtered content via an anonymous proxy.
