The Internet filter activity log logs all activities of the NetMan Desktop Manager Internet filter. This log shows at a glance which Internet calls were blocked by which programs:
Immediately following the installation of NetMan Desktop Manager; i.e., with the default settings, user and station data are not recorded in the Internet filter activity log. This is in accordance with a data security policy in NetMan Desktop Manager. Data on users and stations are generally logged only for error diagnostics. You can activate logging of user and station data manually. If you decide to log these data in spite of data security issues, activate data logging in the NetMan section of the NetMan Settings program, on the Data Logging page.
