Peer-to-Peer Network Security

Clouseau New Major Release (1.1.81) 

1. Added additional blocks (restrictions) for Circumventing type proxies: Circumventing proxies are those proxies developed intentionally to by-pass all current security devices and technologies. They are local proxies installed on user machines and disguise P2P traffic through encryption and the use of port 80 or 443

2.    Clouseau now blocks the following proxies: TOR, Ultra VPN, Your-Freedom, Freeproxy, Privoxy, Twilight, SocksCap, Multiproxy, FreeCap, Widecap, proxifier, Ghost, HideMyIP2009, TrafficCompressor and  Hopster.

3.    Added Static IP Addresses used for system updates: SafeMedia has added this new feature for Networks that don’t have access to a DHCP Server. Clouseau is configured as Bridge and does not require any IP Addresses during normal operation; however when Clouseau checks for remote updates an IP Address is required. Clouseau will now check if Static IP Addresses have been configured by the System Administrator, if configured Clouseau will randomly use the Static IP Addresses configured to check for remote updates. One Static IP Address is ok, but the random feature will not function. SafeMedia recommends at least two (2) Static IP Addresses be configured for tighter security.

4.    Added redirect URL (redirects Web Browsers that have been blocked by Clouseau): By default a user’s web browser is redirected to a SafeMedia information web page when a user tries to gain access to a web site that has been blocked by Clouseau. Note: The System Administrator can override this default URL by entering a valid URL of their choice. Only one URL can be active at any given time.

5.    Added IP Address to Port bindings: Clouseau now binds the DHCP IP Address or Static IP Address to Port1 prior to remote updates, thus preventing Clouseau from using other internal ports.

6.    Added System Time & Date settings: Clouseau now supports local Time & Date setting, by setting Clouseau’s time & date all your logs will have the correct time & date stamp.

7.    Added Time & Date Stamping to log files: Clouseau will now time & date stamp all log files for better tracking.

8.    Added new log rotation methods: Clouseau will now rotate log files prior to remote updates, if all.log or log.txt is greater than twenty (20) megabytes, then that file will be rotated.

9.    Added logical grouping of Control Panel (Graphics Interface): Changed the logical grouping of Clouseau’s Control Panel for better System Administrator navigation

10. Added speed increase for new updates: System Administrators can now enter the IP Address of a Domain Name Server which their network has permission to use. This will increase the speed of Clouseau’s remote updates by resolving SafeMedia’s update Servers Domain Names in milliseconds rather than seconds.

11. User Manual access via Clouseau Control Panel Username & Password required: (http://www.safemediacorp.com/usermanual/manual.pdf) Username: netadmin Password: security2210
