Block Cookies Check to block cookies. Cookies are used to store
session information by the websites that usually
require a login. However, several websites use
cookies to store tracking information and browsing
habits. Enabling this option filters out cookies from
being created by a website.
Many websites require that cookies be accepted
for the site to be accessed properly. Blocking
cookies can cause many websites to not function
properly.
Click Auto to automatically block cookies, or click
Manual and enter a specific port on which to block
cookies.
Block ActiveX Check to block ActiveX content. Similar to Java
applets, ActiveX controls are installed on a
Windows computer while running Internet Explorer.
A malicious ActiveX control can be used to
compromise or infect computers.
Enabling this setting blocks ActiveX applets from
being downloaded.
Click Auto to automatically block ActiveX, or click
Manual and enter a specific port on which to block
ActiveX.
Block Proxy Check to block proxy servers. A proxy server (or
proxy) allows computers to route connections to
other computers through the proxy, thus
circumventing certain firewall rules.
For example, if connections to a specific IP address
are blocked by a firewall rule, the requests can be
routed through a proxy that is not blocked by the
rule, rendering the restriction ineffective. Enabling
this feature blocks proxy servers.
Click Auto to automatically block proxy servers, or
click Manual and enter a specific port on which to
block proxy servers.
