for 14 years the creator of the best URL filter in public domain

Integrate a URL classifier into your application

The ufdbGuard API is a software library that can be used by any 3rd party application written in C or C++.

• classifies URLs in content categories like ads, webmail, entertainment, adult, etc.
• is multithreaded and scales well
• loads the URL database into memory
• excellent performance with 300,000 URL classifications (*) per second on a single Intel E5 1620 v2 CPU with 4 cores.
• maintains statistics that the application can query
• At request we can also deliver a version that boosts performance on the Intel CPUs using SIMD AVX and AVX2 technology.  The performance leaps to over 1,4 million URL classifications per second (*) on a single Intel E5 1650 v3 CPU with 6 cores.  And also on previous generations of CPUs the API performs very well with 1 million URL classifications/sec on an Intel E5 1620 v2 CPU with 4 cores.

The ufdbGuard API is very different from ufdbGuard for Squid and has a different license scheme targeted for environments with large volumes.  System integrators and vendors may contact the support desk for more information.
