Network usage report
Detailed reports provide historical and real-time visibility into web activity, helping organizations monitor, analyze, and optimize internet usage while supporting security, productivity, and compliance requirements.
What is Internet Usage Reporting and how does it work?
The problem
Internet Usage Reporting provides detailed insight into how the internet is accessed and filtered across a network. FlashStart collects and organizes DNS filtering data into clear, structured reports that allow administrators to analyze browsing activity, blocked threats, and policy enforcement over time or in real time. By transforming raw DNS events into actionable intelligence, reporting helps organizations understand usage patterns, identify risks, and verify that security and browsing policies are working as intended.
20+
standard reports available – a wide range of predefined reports cover security events, content filtering, geolocation, and usage trends.
Many
months of historical data retained – administrators can perform detailed searches by category, domain, date, or time slot.
24/7
real-time traffic visibility – DNS activity can be monitored continuously to identify issues as they occur.
100%
privacy-compliant reporting – reports are generated without storing or processing individual personal browsing data, ensuring GDPR compliance.
From visibility to governance and control
Internet Usage Reporting goes beyond simple traffic logs by providing meaningful insights that support security operations, policy enforcement, and organizational governance. Reports highlight blocked malware, dangerous requests, and access to inappropriate or distracting content such as gambling, adult material, or social media.
Time-based and category-based views help administrators understand when and how the internet is used, while geolocation and domain reports provide additional context on allowed and blocked destinations.
In multi-tenant environments, service providers and administrators can generate reports independently for each tenant, maintaining full separation and privacy while retaining the visibility needed to manage the service effectively.
