I think Website Filtering used to work on the XCS client in a very limited form, but it has recently been disabled in XCS releases. Maybe ilgaz or Umut can let us know when it will be reintroduced?

ilgaz @Umut Any update?

Umut

Hi NCT, We will evaluate this request after analyzing whether it can be taken among our roadmap items. I will provide information when we get any updates.

Best Regards.

Umut Website filtering, particularly for blocking malicious and phishing sites, is a critical security feature. An exclusion option and centralized management are essential for effective implementation. While there are numerous DNS-based third-party web filters available, they often fall short—especially since malware frequently uses IP-based URLs, and these solutions lack control without an agent.

I believe the existing web filtering feature on Xcitium could be a robust solution for this, provided there are no significant drawbacks like slow browsing or performance impact (I haven’t used it extensively to evaluate). Adding central management for this feature would address these gaps effectively and provide a comprehensive solution without requiring an additional agent or third-party service.
