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.

- Cache static pages of frequently visited sites for faster loading
- For dial-up connections: dial only when actual browse requests arrive

- 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.
