Topics: About Content Filtering Client on Chrome OS Supported platforms Product licensing Technical support resources About Dell About Content Filtering Client on Chrome OS This is the first release of The Dell SonicWALL Content Filtering Client with support for Chrome OS. Content Filtering Client is now a single application, reducing the complexity of supporting different plug-in services. It has a single installer file for Chrome named CFC_CACertificate.zip for Chrome OS clients. Dell SonicWALL Content Filtering Client service provides protection and productivity policy enforcement for businesses, schools, libraries, and government agencies. Policies are configured by the administrator and then applied to clients based on user and group membership. The service blocks objectionable and unproductive web content even when the client machine is outside the firewall perimeter. Client machines automatically receive the latest software updates for filtering web content. The administrator uses the Content Filtering Client Policy & Reporting Admin Tool (EPRS), a cloud-based platform to administer client policies and client groups. EPRS can be accessed from MySonicWALL, or from SonicOS on the appliance if the CF Client is licensed on that appliance. Dell SonicWALL Content Filtering Client 1
