SurfControl has been replaced with Secure Computing for categorization, and the 97 subcategories are not mapped to other names. An added benefit is that under the new system, a site can be in multiple categories- allowing for more accurate categorization.
Since everyone is upgrading, you will need to review the categories and sub-categories. We could not convert the old to new mappings completely for updated systems, so there are several sub-categories unmapped after update. Please review the attached list of categories, corresponding subcategories, and unmapped subcategories- and configure your systems as appropriate.
Fresh installations from 7.302+ ISOs (available soon) will have all Sub-categories mapped to the existing 18 categories.
This has highlighted an issue with the content filter. I assumed that 'Block access to uncategorised websites' would block access to websites that were not mapped to specific categories.
However, it *allows* all these unmapped sub-categories.
I suggest an additional tick box 'Block access to unmapped subcategories' as a feature request.
If not, I can upload my list later tonight. This week, I did a fresh install from the 7.302 ISO on a test pc and remapped the categories using Jack Daniel's list.
