Peplink Balance and list-based web blocking

[Bernd]

I went through the Peplink Balance manual and also the short info at http://www.peplink.com/knowledgebase/introducing-list-based-web-blocking/ but I cannot find sufficient technical details on the following:

1. Is the full list-based web blocking dynamically updated or only updated via firmware updates?
2. Compared to OpenDNS how does the list-based web blocking fare?
3. Does the full list-based web blocking provide real time traffic scanning for keywords and image scans?
4. Does the list-based web blocking provide website databases (a categorized list of websites including those flagged for malware content, phishing and generally known malicious sites)?
5. Does the full list-based web blocking extend to URL and content keyword scanning?

1. Is the full list-based web blocking dynamically updated or only updated via firmware updates?

It will be updated via firmware update at the moment.

@Bernd

2. Compared to OpenDNS how does the list-based web blocking fare?

The Content Blocking is free.

@Bernd

3. Does the full list-based web blocking provide real time traffic scanning for keywords and image scans?

The blocking is based in the pre-defined domains. You may download the database at Status > Device > System Information > Content Filtering Database.

4. Does the list-based web blocking provide website databases (a categorized list of websites including those flagged for malware content, phishing and generally known malicious sites)?

Yes.

5. Does the full list-based web blocking extend to URL and content keyword scanning?

Please find my answer in question 3 above.

Thank you.
