Network Scanning System that Protects

Web browsing technology that creates a secure, encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the internet. Virtual Private Networks can be used to circumvent web filtering software by routing your internet connection through a server in a different location. This makes it appear as though your internet activity is coming from that server’s location, not your actual physical location, thus bypassing local internet restrictions and filters. This toolset is particularly useful for accessing region-restricted content, bypassing censorship, or maintaining privacy from local internet service monitoring. VPNs allow employees to bypass filters.

They offer indirect ways to access restricted content:
1) Offline Storage: They can store content downloaded in an unrestricted environment, allowing local access without internet filters.
2) Software and Tools: Drives can carry software, like VPNs, that bypass web filters, useful when such software can’t be downloaded due to network restrictions.
3) Operating Systems: They can also boot live operating systems or different environments, potentially, and harmfully, avoiding computer-level restrictions. However, they don’t actively circumvent network restrictions like VPNs.

Off-site browsing involves accessing the web from a location outside of controlled network environments, such as schools or workplaces. By doing so, users can bypass network filters and restrictions that block inappropriate content. Since these filters are typically only active within the controlled network, off-site browsing allows unrestricted access to all types of content, including those deemed inappropriate, unsafe, or even harmful. This method can expose users to risks and content normally prevented by safety protocols within regulated networks. This leaves businesses vulnerable to incursions exposing them to possible suits.
