This page provides you with the facility to see the files that have been cached by the web proxy server within Endian Firewall. The web proxy is inactive after first installation of EFW, and may be activated (and deactivated) through a specific administration page ().
Due to the large amount of information that has to be processed, the Web Proxy page can take an appreciable time to appear after its initial selection or an Update.
There are several controls on this page in addition to the controls described within introduction:
This dropdown box allows you selectively look at web proxy activity related to individual IP addresses on the local network, or the activity related to ALL machines that have used the proxy.
The box allows you type in a regular expressions text string to define which file types should be omitted from the web proxy logs. The default string hides image files (.gif, .jpeg, .png & .png), stylesheet files (.css) and JavaScript files (.js).
Tick this on to enable the Ignore filter: or tick it off to disable it.
This button allows you to return the above controls and filters to their defaults.
For this page, the logs information appearing in the Log: section of the window consists of:
The Time the file was requested and cached.
The Source IP address of the local system requesting the file.
The Username, if applicable of the authenticated user which retrieved the file. This shows a dash if users have not to authenticate in order to have access to the cache.
The Website - or more precisely the URL for each file requested and cached.
The Website URL entries in these logs are also hyperlinks to the referenced web pages or files.
