EcoFILTER is a network device designed for high-performance URL filtering. URL (host/path) filtering for HTTP Protocol and hosts for HTTPS Protocol on all TCP ports is supported. Moreover, the list of filtered URLS can be assigned to all subscribers at once, and to each individual depending on its tariff plan. Radius or a proprietary tcp interface is used to identify the user. The EcoFILTER device can be supplemented with the service gateway functionality (shaping speed\ to subscribers, forwarding to the disconnect page, URL-based open garden, URL-based policy, CG-NAT). The EcoFILTER solution provides mechanisms to detect URL C. HTTP requests, even if the subscriber uses a blocking bypass, such as access using a non-standard port on the server, URL masking by fragmenting the GET request, using a non-standard header sequence, etc.
