Traffic management rules
UserGate Server enables you to
manage Internet access by using the traffic management rules. These
rules can forbid user access to certain network resources, set up
traffic consumption limits, create Internet scheduling and track
user accounts. Traffic management rules are arranged in the form of
an action to be performed on a certain object. There are 4
object-action pairs defined in UserGate: “Connection –
Close”, “Traffic – Don’t count”, “Tariff –
Change” and “Speed – Set up”. For a traffic management
rule to execute, you need to define the rule’s condition: time of
day, day of week, URLs (IP), traffic limit (per day, week or
month), etc. Defined conditions may be combined using logical
“AND/OR” operators, allowing opportune flexibility when creating
rules. Another opportunity is provided by the possibility of
applying rules both for all protocols and for particular ones. You
should apply rules created to users or user groups in
UserGate.
