This installer screen appears if Remote Filtering Server is selected for installation.

• Internal IP address: Enter the actual IP address of the Filtering Service machine to be used by this instance of Remote Filtering Server.
• Communication port and Block page port: The port Filtering Service uses for communication with other components (15868, by default), and the port used to serve block pages to client machines (15871, by default). These ports must:
  • Be in the range 1024-65535
  • Open on any firewall between the Remote Filtering Server and Filtering Service

  To find the ports used by Filtering Service:

  1. Navigate to the bin directory on the Policy Server machine (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or /opt/Websense/bin/, by default) and open the eimserver.ini file in a text editor.
  2. Locate the WebsenseServerPort (filtering port) and BlockMsgServerPort (block page port) values.
  3. When you are finished, close the file without saving. Do not modify the file.
• Translated IP address: Use this box to provide the translated IP address of Filtering Service if it is behind a network-address-translating device. You must mark the A firewall or other network device performs address translation... check box to enable this option.
