WebControl is a powerful tool for monitoring and controlling your internet usage and costs. It lets you monitor and filter traffic before it arrives at your network, giving your business a single point of access and control.
The system has a user-friendly web interface, which allows your company to create and employ web access policies. These can be tailored to individual users and groups. Many monitoring products are designed for school and family environments, and are run within the network or on individual computers. WebControl is a proxy system which integrates directly with your Connexus internet connection.
As the internet grows, so does your company’s need for reliable bandwidth. To control your internet costs, you need an accurate picture of your day-to-day bandwidth use, and the tools to curb it.
WebControl offers you a clear picture of your company’s bandwidth usage. It shows you exactly how your internet resources are being used and gives you the tools to manage them. It helps you track the web habits of your whole organisation—from departments down to individual users.
Employees who know their internet use is monitored are less likely to engage in activities which expose your organisation to legal risk. These activities include downloading inappropriate images, illegal music or sending confidential information to third parties—all things which can lead to lawsuits.
With electronic communication becoming more and more popular, easy and casual, it makes sense to use WebControl to protect your company from damaging situations.
Connexus WebControl allows your organisation to understand its internet use. This knowledge will help you to lower your bandwidth costs, improve staff productivity and shield itself from legal threats.
With the knowledge of how bandwidth is being used, your company can control the cost of its connection. The powerful and adaptable reporting engine documents your organisation’s bandwidth use in fine detail.
All reports are automatically e-mailed in an easy-to-read PDF format and are kept by the system for your records.
WebControl lets your organisation set clear internet policies which are easily implemented across your network. These policies can be different for individual users, groups and network domains.
Blanket rules and quotas can do more harm than good. For example, IT staff need to download large software packages, and your marketing department might need access to online video.
This is why WebControl has the versatility to adjust to the user’s situation.
WebControl helps you block specific websites and it can also filter material by file or content type. Our category system sorts sites into editable classes such as sports, online shopping, adult content, chat or webmail. Whole categories of content can be removed from your workplace.
WebControl is integrated into your upstream connection. This means it stops unwanted and potentially dangerous content before it reaches your network, improving security and lowering bandwidth costs.
WebControl is a managed service, so it’s easy to configure and activate. It requires no specialist IT skills, no additional software and no changes to your workstation machines. Our friendly Help Desk staff are on hand if you have any questions or require assistance.

With increasing downloads, bandwidth costs were spiralling out of control. IT Manager Andy Michelis went looking for a solution. He needed an accurate idea of how his bandwidth was being used and a better way to police his company’s internet policy. He trialled several software packages, but found they were time consuming and cumbersome.
Then he found Connexus WebControl. He was able to break down his bandwidth figures into meaningful statistics and control problem surfers. The result was a dramatic reduction of nearly 60% in JG King’s internet use. Was WebControl easy to configure? ‘Everything worked straight out of the box,’ he said.
Besides slashing his internet bill, Andy has seen improvements in network response and a drop in the amount of viruses and spyware attacking his system. With internet policies put into practice, he also expects to see improvements in workplace productivity.
‘Thanks to Connexus we were able to get a handle on our bandwidth usage and boost the performance of our network.’
