Dynamic Content Filtering

[Mr_Jiminy]

Can anyone please confirm if LightSpeed offers dynamic content filtering, to scan the content of pages and then impose blocks accordingly. OR, is it purely a URL based filter.

 

I've tried searching over the forum, but have nothing confirmed.

Not dynamic afaik

I believe LS does some filtering on search phrases, but that's about it. I presume they do off-line content analysis to keep their block lists up to date, but that doesn't help too much with dynamic websites. I believe Iceni and Smoothwall are the only systems which do real-time content analysis (someone correct me if there are others).
