SurfConsole™

From the developers of Postmaster — a proxy server that gives your organization controlled, monitored, and policy-governed internet access.

What is SurfConsole?

Put Your Organization in Control of Internet Usage

SurfConsole is a proxy server that enables multiple users to access the internet simultaneously through one shared connection — while giving you complete visibility and control over how that access is used.

It's part of the IQuinox corporate messaging suite, which combines SurfConsole's web access control with Postmaster's email management and AvAc's gateway security — all unified under a single user and policy framework.

Stop those exasperating situations where critical proposals are stuck in the outbox because a trainee is downloading MP3s.

Bandwidth Savings

Block ads, cache static pages, reduce wasteful downloads.

Site Filtering

Black and white lists of URLs for policy enforcement.

Activity Logging

Complete audit trail of all browsing activity.

User Authentication

Ensure only authorized users access the internet.

SurfConsole Benefits

Control Without Restriction — Or Full Control. Your Choice.

SurfConsole gives you the tools to implement exactly the internet access policy your organization needs — from light-touch monitoring to full site filtering.

Bandwidth Optimization

  • Save bandwidth by blocking heavy ad images and large downloads
  • Cache static pages of frequently visited sites for faster loading
  • For dial-up connections: dial only when actual browse requests arrive

Access Control

  • Restrict access with site filtering via configurable URL blacklists
  • Monitor browsing through logging and real-time activity monitor
  • Block protocols: SOCKS (IM clients), RAV (streaming audio/video)

Security

  • User authentication ensures only valid, authorised usage
  • Access Control List to prevent unauthorized external access
  • Prevents internal users from bypassing your internet policies

Seamless Postmaster Integration

SurfConsole and Postmaster Enterprise work in perfect harmony. The IQuinox framework unifies user management — set a user's properties once, they apply across both email and web access.

Bandwidth Allocation Manager

Use the IQuinox Bandwidth Manager to specify exactly how much bandwidth Postmaster Enterprise and SurfConsole each can use — ensuring email delivery is never sacrificed for browsing.

User Synchronization

SurfConsole and Postmaster share the same usernames and properties — reducing administrative overhead dramatically. One user database, one policy, two applications.
