For a small LAN environment (the number of terminals is less than 50), an enterprise Internet behavior management router can achieve basic Internet behavior management functions. Of course, the function of the router is relatively limited, for Internet content recording, Internet statistics, URL library filtering and other advanced functions, you need to deploy a professional Internet behavior management to achieve.

In this article, I will introduce how to deploy a free Internet behavior management device for a LAN with less than 50 clients.

First, install WFilter NGF and select "50 users full-featured free version".

You need a PC with dual network cards or an industrial computer with x86 architecture, install the WFilter NGF Internet behavior management system, and choose "50 users full-featured free version".

Second, choose a suitable deployment method.

There are two deployment modes: gateway mode and bridge mode.

1. Gateway mode

The WFilter NGF system acts as the router gateway, replacing the existing router. Because WFilter NGF itself has the functions of routing, firewall and × ×, it is possible to replace the existing routing equipment. The network topology diagram is as follows:

One thing to note is that as a gateway, NGF requires at least two network ports, one internal network and one external network. If you have more than one outside line, add more net ports. Therefore, in a multi-WAN environment, it is more convenient to buy an industrial control computer with 6 WAN or 4 WAN ports.

In the case of a single network segment, the NGF device can connect directly to the switch. If you want to divide the VLAN, you can also configure multiple "intranet segments" on the NGF device to solve the problem. As shown in the figure:

two。 Bridge mode

WFilter NGF acts as a transparent bridge between the router and the switch. The network topology diagram is as follows:

For the deployment of the bridge, the WFilter NGF device must have two network cards. The first switch is connected to the intranet and the second is connected to the router. There should be no other wiring between the router and the switch. In bridge mode, except for PPPoE and multi-line equalization module, other functions are completely consistent with the gateway mode. Bridge mode does not need to replace existing equipment, plug and play, is also an important deployment solution.

Generally speaking, if you do not want to change the router, it is more convenient to use the bridge solution, otherwise use the gateway to deploy the solution. Can achieve strong online behavior management and flow control. What functions can be achieved in the free version of WFilter NGF? please refer to this post: full-featured free version for WFilter NGF 50 users
