Client-Server PC-Based Software

End User PC Filters

This is a advancement on PC software where a small program on a PC links through to a server hosted at an ISP that does most of the filtering.  This offers the advantage of a more secure system. It is much simpler to install, all the updates are done at the server but it has less flexibility than just PC-Based software. 

A typical installation of this type of filtering solution would be for school laptops where the school wishes the laptops to be filtered with the same policies that are in place for their in-house computers.  An example of this is the 8e6 Client.
