In version 4.6.9.3 of NxFilter, we introduced the "Web Login Limit" feature, found under 'System > Setup'. This feature is designed to prevent users from sharing a privileged account, a common workaround to bypass filtering. This situation often arises when users are required to log in through the NxFilter user login page.

With Web Login Limit, administrators can now set a maximum number of devices that can be logged in using the same username. NxFilter tracks the number of active login sessions for each user, which increase every time a user logs in either through the login page or via a login agent. The system then verifies if a user's active login sessions exceed the predefined Web Login Limit each time they attempt to log in through the NxFilter login page.

Administrators can monitor the current number of login sessions a user has generated on the user test page or by clicking the TEST button in the user list.

Setting up Web Login Limit:

1. Navigate to 'System > Setup' in your NxFilter dashboard.
2. Locate the "Web Login Limit" setting.
3. Enter your desired limit for simultaneous user logins.

Please note: The default setting is '0', which indicates there is no limit to the number of simultaneous logins.
