handyCafe Firewall

handyCafe Firewall is a handy little Windows app designed to help you filter and block access to websites. It also takes action against malicious attacks and lets you limit upload and download speeds using custom firewall settings. Pretty cool, right?

Perfect for Cybercafés and Small Businesses

This tool is super useful, especially for cybercafés or small businesses where you need to control what people can see online. When you install it, you get a server edition that goes on the admin's computer, plus a client version for the PCs that need managing.

User-Friendly Design

The server version of handyCafe Firewall has a clean and easy-to-use design. You can quickly switch between key features like Network Computers, Log Reporting, and more. There's even a special panel just for browsing the official website.

Monitor Your Network

You can see all the computers on your network along with details like date/time, IP and MAC addresses, user info, version numbers, status, and their upload/download speeds. This way, you know exactly what's happening on your network.

Keeps Track of Browsing Activity

The log feature tracks visited sites and banned pages. You can print or clear this log whenever you want. Plus, you can export this data to CSV, XML, or plain text formats!

Create Custom Reports

You can generate reports for specific dates that include banned logs and search engine activities. Just like the logs, these reports can be printed or exported in various formats for offline viewing.

Set Up Website Filters

handyCafe Firewall lets you create filters to block certain websites. You can make lists of sites to ban or trust based on keywords and file types!

Advanced Features Available

You can apply current filter settings to all active computers or just select ones. There are preset filters too; however, you'll need to download them first.

Control Bandwidth Usage

You can limit bandwidth only for web applications. This means controlling download/upload speeds for all active computers or just selected ones.

Add Extra Security Measures

handyCafe Firewall helps ensure that other users can't change your settings by asking for a password when restoring options from the menu. You'll also see banned websites logged along with visited ones!

Easily Manage Client Settings

You have options to set client parameters like password requests and protection against tunnel websites while using the same password for both clients and admins.

Simplified Management Options

You can choose where to save logs, manage active PCs' logging settings, change passwords easily between client/server setups as well as uninstall the utility if needed.

Your Go-To Tool for Web Content Control!

handyCafe Firewall offers an easy way to filter web content while logging visited pages. Just keep in mind it hasn't been updated in a while which might cause compatibility issues with newer operating systems.
