Watchdog International New UK Hosted ISP Filtering Service
Watchdog International has launched a cost-effective service to allow ISPs in the UK and Europe to filter web sites containing child sexual abuse material. Powered by NetClean's Whitebox technology, this service can be set up in less than 10 minutes in a typical ISP installation. This allows smaller ISPs to achieve filtering with very little time, effort or cost.
The service uses the list of known child sexual abuse web sites provided by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) in the UK. The UK government as well as a number of charities and internet safety organisations recommend that all ISPs block these sites. This prevents ISP customers from accidentally or intentionally accessing these illegal sites. Ninety-five percent of the UK’s residential broadband connections are filtered in this way. ISPs who block access to these sites are part of the solution to combat the horrific practice of abusing children for the purpose of placing their images on the Internet.
Technology
This filtering service uses a combination of BGP routing, tunneling and URL filtering.
