T0003 - 'Applying Categories to IP Addresses Does Not Stop 'Everyone' From Being Filtered'

Indications:
  • Setting Chaperon 2000's filter categories to apply only to certain IP addresses changes nothing, and all users are still being filtered.
Versions Affected:  
  • All version of Chaperon 2000 for ISA
  • The layout of the Chaperon 2000> Filter Manager> Filter Maintenance> Users Window does not explain that the Chaperon requires something to always be listed under the 'Users' tab.  
Possible Cause:
  • The layout of the Chaperon 2000> Filter Manager> Filter Maintenance> Users Window leads to confusion as to how to properly set a category to apply only to certain IP Addresses. 
  • A 'Reload Filter' has not been initiated since the changes were made.

Solution:

After adding the appropriate IP ranges that you wish for a category to apply to, you must do the following:

  1. Open Chaperon 2000> Filter Manager> Filter Maintenance and select the Users button for a category.
  2. Select the 'By IP' tab and enter the IP ranges you wish the filter to apply to.
  3. Remove 'Everyone' from under the 'By User' tab.
  4. Add the 'Guest' account (any other unused account will suffice here)
  5. Apply your changes to any other categories you wish with the 'Copy To' button, and click OK
  6. Initiate a filter reload.  

After initiating the filter reload, watch the system log.  When it says the filter load is complete, your changes should be in effect.

Status:

Behavior is by design.

This evaluation is a fully working version of Chaperon 2000 that will operate for 30 days. The installation is incredibly smooth, and just in case you want to try something else before you buy, the uninstall is squeaky clean.
