[QUOTE="Darren Williams, post: 865007, member: 86369"] We could always provide an option to hide this information like we do when running in terminal services mode, which basically disables the host dialog. The normal question we get is exactly the opposite.... "show me the amount of exfiltration happening and what BlackFog is blocking". We assume this is actually your account and that you are not hot swapping on the machine. We are just being rather transparent in terms of what we are doing. I will get the guys to add a new option to effectively hide the host tab if desired in the next minor release. The event log is fine though as it only shows the last 100 blocks, which is a little different and not a privacy consideration. It will be showing the ad blocking, data collection etc that we are preventing. One important point to note as well. This is only showing exfiltration, so it's only the data coming OFF your device. If you requested a news site for example it will only be showing the stuff the news site is trying to send back to base. Now in most cases they will be trying to do something they shouldn't, so it has the same effect most of the time. Just important I point that out. [/QUOTE]
