URLfilterDB provides a URL database intended for use with ufdbGuard for Squid, the ufdbGuard Query Server, the ufdbGuard API and REST API.  The database contains URLs with over 50 URL categories which a proxy administrator can use to define which groups of users are allowed to visit which types of websites.

The advantages of our internet filter solution are:

• can be installed on a single server only. There’s no need for installing additional software on workstations.
• highly customizable; an administrator can define new URL categories according to the organization’s needs. URL categories can be whitelisted, blacklisted and one can make exceptions to existing URL categories using the user-defined URL categories
• the URL database has daily updates.  URLs are therefore always evaluated against the latest URL database.
