By default, PureSight is configured to block pages if there is a 60% or more certainty that the page being requested contains objectionable content.

The level of filtering is adjusted by slide bars under the specific category tab within the PureSight interface. The slide bars have a range of certainty from 0% to 100% with 0% being the highest filter setting and 100% being the lowest. If PureSight is 0% sure a site contains objectionable material, it will block the site.

If PureSight is set to block only if it is 100% certain the site contains objectionable material, almost all web sites are going to be allowed. Even a site like Playboy.com comes through with only a 92% certainty of objectionable material. Keep these factors in mind when adjusting PureSight's content filter settings.
