Use the Settings > General > Database Download page to establish the schedule for automatic Master Database downloads. If you did not already enter the information in the Initial Setup Checklist, you can use this page to configure any proxy server or firewall settings that Websense Filtering Service must use to download the database.
1.
(Websense Web Security, Web Security Gateway, and Web Security Gateway Anywhere) Select Enable real-time security updates (default) to have Websense Filtering Service check for security updates to the Master Database every 5 minutes. When a security update is detected, it is downloaded immediately.
Real-time security updates rapidly protect your network from vulnerability to threats like new phishing (identity fraud) scams, rogue applications, and malicious code infecting a mainstream website or application.
2.
Select the Download days for automatic downloads.

3.
Next to Download between, select a start time and end time between which Filtering Service attempts to download Master Database updates. By default, download occurs between 21:00 (9 p.m.) and 06:00 (6 a.m.), according to the time on the Filtering Service machine.

4.
Select Use proxy server or firewall if Filtering Service must access the Internet through a proxy server or a proxying firewall to download the Master Database. Then provide:
*
The IPv4 address or hostname of the proxy server or firewall.
*
The Port through which the database download must pass (8080, by default).
5.
If the proxy server or firewall configured above requires authentication to reach the Internet, select Use authentication, and then enter the User name and Password that Filtering Service should use to gain Internet access.
 
Note 
By default, the user name and password are encoded to match the character set for the Policy Server machine's locale. This encoding can be configured manually via the Settings > General > Directory Services page (see Advanced directory settings).
