Fireshield
Explore how to enable and configure Fireshield service to monitor and control all DNS and IP requests in real time and handle it depending on the configuration
Overview
Fireshield is a network security service; turned on, it will check all project users' IP and DNS requests through a categorized database in order to determine if the web resource is safe/unsafe to communicate with and process it according to the configured rules.
Enabled - a switch to turn Fireshield on (ticked) / off (empty)
Alert page - a special web page to redirect a user in case a fireshield protection worked (e.g. with an explanation why a website user have tried to reach is blocked)
domain - an actual domain name of the web-site (e.g. example.com)
path - a path to the particular page on the web-site (e.g. example.html)
Services - a list of database sources used to determine if the resource is safe/unsafe
securityzones - synchronized every 5 minutes
ip - technical entry (required for proper Bitdefender service work)
bitdefender - requested in real time and supplemented with 30 minutes lifetime cache (can be cleared earlier if the number of records is more than 20 000)
Categories - a list of pre-determined web-resource categories with general safe/unsafe and more specific:
unsafe:malware - a list of websites that may try to setup a malicious
software on user's computer in order to spy or cause damage
unsafe:untrusted - a list of suspicious and not trustworthy sites
unsafe:trackers - a list of sites that mark a browser in order to gather information about user's activity over the Internet
unsafe:phishing - a list of sites suspected of cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking, and credit card details, and passwords
