This menu allows you to enable Web Usage monitoring between the LAN and the Internet, and view tables of both Recently Visited Websites and Recent Web Searches.

This can be useful, if you have concerns about users' Web browsing patterns. Parents often use this to monitor/supervise their childrens' browsing habits, or just to gather statistics. (Default Disabled). Since release 2020.6, Web Monitoring also works for secure (https) websites.

Enable: Clicking the word Enable » takes you to the Logging menu, where you can enable and configure the Web Monitor function.

Once Web Monitoring is enabled, it displays the Recently Visited Web Sites table.

Clicking » Download lets you download the Recently Visited Website list in plain text format to save to your PC or client device.

Clicking » Clear will delete the current list contents, allowing you to reset or start logging again from scratch.

You may not recognize some domains in the table. That's because they are for data harvesting, displaying ads, program updating, caching content and other purposes that users are generally not made aware of.

Note that if you use a VPN, Web Monitor will function properly, since domains you enter will be encrypted when travelling through the VPN tunnel. If you use routing policy and allow the web browser to bypass the VPN, domains you enter should be listed in the table.

Below Recently Visited Websites, a table of Recent Web Searches will be displayed.
