Anonymous proxy sites are quickly becoming the most popular and easiest way for students to bypass Internet filtering. Earlier this year, Bloxx announced the results from its first annual Anonymous Proxies Security Survey taken from a cross section of business and education IT managers, which revealed that 90% of respondents deem these types of sites to be a problem.
Hundreds of anonymous proxies are created each week and it has become apparent that blocking them using traditional web filters, which rely heavily on lists of URLs, is simply no longer effective. Bloxx Tru-View Technology deploys a multi-layered approach to web filtering, combining the best of conventional web filtering methods with real-time contextual analysis, identification and categorisation of web pages, which delivers unsurpassed levels of detection and blocking of anonymous proxies.
Many schools and further education institutes have already reaped substantial benefits from implementing the Bloxx solution.
