Internet Monitoring

Real time visibility into who is using the internet.

Cloud Router & Network Protection Service allows you to monitor what select users of your Business or Home network browse on the web and define usage limitations and alerting for individual sites or collections of sites visited. A graphic rendering allows you to evaluate if and when a user is proactively spending time on a site.

A log of DNS requests, searchable and filterable by category, provides detailed insight into the browsing history of each tracked user for up to two weeks. Based on that information, you can tag individual sites for detailed usage monitoring and graphic reporting for up to 30 days.

Monitoring and tracking can be enabled as an option at the individual user level to ensure the full privacy of users you do not want to supervise.

Tight integration between the SkyDNS servers and the Cloud Router & Network Protection Service Cloud Service, enables the administrator to track anything accessed on the Web, monitor only select users instead of all traffic, and provide chronological usage information for sites added to a Watch List.

The Watch List Heuristics Engine (beta) detects if a website is being actively used, if it is indirectly reached by other sites, or if it is just idling on an open browser window.

Intelligent Content Filtering

Cloud Router & Network Protection Service™ offers a fully integrated content access control system that allows Businesses or families to personalize the Internet access experience by creating Internet access rules that can automatically vary by individual user, time of the day, and day of the week.

You can associate devices with their owners and then establish policies that define what each user can or cannot do online. Cloud Router & Network Protection Service Content Filtering filters content across over 140 different categories organized in groups and topics for ease of selection. It also offers a predefined library of five topic-based rules that you can use directly or customize to fit your specific needs, adding and removing categories, and specifying sites to whitelist or blacklist.

To prevent your Business or Home users from bypassing the content filtering engine, Cloud Router & Network Protection Service uses a special technology called "Compulsory DNS." This guarantees that regardless of what DNS service is locally configured on a device, the monitoring and filtering configured within Cloud Router & Network Protection Service still occurs.

To simplify the identification of individual devices and assign them to users, Cloud Router & Network Protection Service uses Device Fingerprinting technology, until now available only in enterprise grade networks.

Enterprise-grade, certificate-based TLS encryption guarantees a completely secure connection between the Cloud Router & Network Protection Service Router and the Cloud Router & Network Protection Cloud Service. As the Cloud Router & Network Protection Service Router connects to its cloud service, it immediately establishes a secure link using the same approach employed in online banking transactions, further reinforced by the use of a unique security certificate and a hash key. All configuration, reporting and status information is then transmitted utilizing the encrypted link. 

Per User Control

You Business or Home network is shared among your employees or family, although every person has different needs and requirements. Cloud Router & Network Protection Service allows you to create individual user profiles and instantly assign connected devices to each user to ensure the best Internet connectivity experience for each.

Once assigned, all devices belonging to a user are automatically subject to the rules defined for that person, such as what type of Internet content they can access, how much Internet bandwidth they have available to them or how much time they can spend on different types of sites. The system also provides per-user information that is easy to understand such as time spent on set web sites, data downloaded or uploaded and a history of web sites visited.

It is easy to organize your devices thanks to automatic text and email notifications that alert you every time a new device connects to your network. Once connected, Cloud Router & Network Protection Service provides all the information needed to recognize the device and assign it to a user.

Device Fingerprinting is an enterprise-grade technology used for the first time in a Business and Home networking device by Cloud Router & Network Protection Service. It allows your router to understand what type of devices are connecting to your network, identifying detailed information about their name, manufacturer, operating system, and more.

The system can alert you on your smartphone when a new device connects for the first time and provides detailed information to easily recognize it and assign it to a user.

Performance Optimization

An integrated Bandwidth Management System allows Cloud Router & Network Protection Service to maximize the value of broadband service investment and optimizes the way the bandwidth is utilized in your Business and Home network.

Cloud Router & Network Protection Service routers support multiple independent network zones. Each zone can be assigned a QoS policy with a guaranteed portion of the available bandwidth and a priority rating. This allows you to control which devices receive priority in terms of bandwidth. For example, you can set all of your business devices on a dedicated "Work Zone" to ensure that your video conferences or remote presentations always have the bandwidth they need, regardless of what is happening in the other zones.

You can also set speed limits and access priority for individual users to ensure that no individual user in the Business or House "hogs" all the bandwidth or that the devices that require prioritized bandwidth, such a media streaming boxes, always can perform at their best.

Bandwidth Manager utilizes Quality of Service queuing algorithms to organize the Internet traffic according to what device or user needs access. Within each Network Zone, each device gets its own dedicated queue that can move traffic along at a speed varying on its priority, set limits, and overall network congestion.

Privacy and Security

Cloud Router & Network Protection Service provides the option of creating multiple virtual networks (Service Zones) in your Business and Home. This allows you to keep your more sensitive data and devices, such as your work computers, separate from all your other devices. You can also designate a separate virtual network for your guests to access the Internet using a separate wireless connection and without ever having access to your family network or having to share your wireless passphrase.

Cloud Router & Network Protection Service also provides a baseline level of Web content filtering that everyone in the home can use to prevent access to phishing sites and protect from malware downloads. Configuring it is simple and fast using the Cloud Router & Network Protection Cloud Service.

Virtual LAN technology (VLAN) is commonly utilized in enterprise networks to keep data unique to specific groups flowing separately within the same shared infrastructure. Traffic is tagged according to its origin, destination, purpose or type. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical Local Area Network (LAN), but it allows for traffic to flow as if devices where physically connecting to separate networks. This improves security, reduces data access violation risks and optimizes access to network resources. 

Multi-network Management

The Cloud Router & Network Protection Cloud Service supports the management of multiple networks. We can configure, monitor, and manage as many home networks as you want, such as a second home or at a relative's residence.

Powerful Home Gateway

The Cloud Router & Network Protection Router is a compact and elegant device that packs powerful connectivity options with concurrent dual-band 600-class 802.11n Wi-Fi. A dual radio configuration, four-port gigabit Ethernet switch and high-quality, built-in antennas provide sustained connection speeds on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
