How does SafetyMon Work?
It's important to add that SafetyMon doesn’t work as a firewall, SFM doesn’t block specific ports on the Internet; by contrast, blocks applications by their own features, which makes it a lot more effective, let’s see an example:
If you wanted to block the software MSN Messenger, you just need to activate the “Messenger” square (if is not activated) in the control panel, this way you will not only block the Live Messenger, but the MSN Messenger, the web messenger, the Google searches for Messenger, etc; is highly effective.
Since it doesn’t work as a firewall, you can also block for example the access to the control panel, the Windows service panel, the task manager, or any other panel or software that doesn’t work with internet.
If there is any new page or software that you will like to block, simply access to the configuration panel and add it, for example “facebook”. And that’s it; you will not be able to sign in facebook.
Is it possible to manage it from a unique Server computer?
Yes, there are two versions of SFM, one for personal users with no network or Server. This version can be installed in your pc like any other software. The corporate version (Server client) is installed in the Server, so that is configured from the Server and all the Computers on the network are covered by this configuration. If this configuration is changed on the Server, for example, adding a new page or application to be blocked, automatically changes the configuration on the Computers connected to the network.
How many clients does the license cover?
With a SFM corporate license, you can install it on all the Computers you want within the same company, and with a home license, you can install all the computers you want inside the same house.
