Introduction

About this report

This report shows how the internet at Your library was used from 15 to 28 October 2026: what people used it for, which services they relied on and when, and how the web filter kept them safe. Figures come from the filter that handles every website lookup on your network. No personal information is collected: the filter does not know who used a computer or phone.

How to read the figures

Lookup
A device asking where a website is. One visit to a page usually makes several lookups, so lookups measure activity, not people.
People-facing use
Lookups for websites and services people use. Device updates, advertising networks and IT systems are counted separately (Behind the scenes).
Blocked
A lookup the filter stopped because of your policy. The person sees your block page.
Compared with
Every change is against the previous 14 days (1 to 14 October 2026).

Behind the scenes

Computers, phones and IT systems also talk to the internet on their own: updates, advertising networks, security agents and cameras. This traffic is kept apart from the people-facing figures.

Recommendations

Coloured numbers are actions; grey ones are notes for the record.

1
Consider blocking brand-new domainsMost scam websites are only days old. Blocking domains registered in the last 30 days stops many of them before they are listed anywhere.
2
Check SafeSearchSafeSearch is off in at least one profile. With it on, Google, Bing and other search engines hide explicit images in results for everyone on that network.
3
VPN and proxy websites were blocked257 lookups to VPN or proxy websites were stopped: these are the tools people use to go around a filter. Nothing to do unless staff need a VPN for work; then add it to Always allowed.
4
Encrypted DNS kept on the filter75 times a browser or app tried its own encrypted DNS service (usually automatically) and was kept on the filter. This is expected and shows the protection works.
5
Review 3 new AI toolsAI tools appeared that were not seen in the previous period: DeepAI, Replika, PixAI. Decide whether they fit your policy.
6
Unblock records are complete4 staff unblocks and 0 patron self-unblocks were recorded, each with the time, the network and the length, and each ended by itself.

About the figures

Figures come from the lookups your filter handled for Your library, grouped by day in America/New_York. Websites are grouped by purpose from a database of 20 million categorized websites and a register of named services and AI tools. Short gaps are possible while a device uses a cached answer. Report generated 1 November 2026, 19:12.
