We have configured the Policy for user to block internet access, but they still able to access by trying a few attempt from google, and click the search result of facebook. Once it click the facebook at the first time, it will auto-block as applied policy, but it still go through after users trying to click a few times.

It seems the blocking feature is not efficient enough in this network.

Two possibilities:

1). When you're monitoring more than 100 computers, we recommend you to use two NICs. One for monitoring, and another one for blocking. So are you using two NICs?

2). The server load is too heavy. Please check the memory and CPU load of this server.

Yes, we are always purpose for 2 NICs design. By the way, is it best

practice that 2 NICs for > 100 PCs monitoring?



The server also share resources with others backup application. How to

determine that Wfilter is under resources? Because this servers only running

backup during non-working hours (which should not effect on Wfilter)



Anyway, I will monitor the CPU and Memory resources.

"Two NICs" is the best solution.
