Remote Filtering Client allows filtering on client machines when they are outside the network. The client software:
*
Resides on client machines that may be used outside the network firewall.
*
Identifies the machines as clients to be filtered.
*
Communicates with Remote Filtering Server, installed inside the organization's firewall.
Deploy the Remote Filtering Client to machines you want filtered when they are outside your network.
Special considerations
The Remote Filtering Client is deployed by copying an executable file to user machines or using a third-party deployment tool. See the Remote Filtering Software technical paper for instructions.
The Remote Filtering Client is configured via the Unified Endpoint Package Builder, which is installed automatically on any Windows machine that includes Websense components (for example, the TRITON management server or the Log Server machine). Find the client pack in the following location: C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\DTFAgent\).
 
* 
Note 
If you install Remote Filtering Server on a Windows machine, the Unified Endpoint Package Builder is automatically installed with it. Do not, however, deploy Remote Filtering Client on the Remote Filtering Server machine.
Before deploying the Remote Filtering Client on Windows Vista machines, make sure User Account Control (UAC) is disabled and that you are logged on to the machine as a local administrator.
