Zusammenfassung:A system that communicates information is described. This system includes: a network interface, a proxy device coupled to the network interface, and an interface node coupled to the proxy device and configured to couple to a channel. Note that the network interface is configured to transmit outbound messages from the system to a location and to receive inbound messages to the system from the location, and the channel is configured to convey the outbound messages and the inbound messages. Moreover, the proxy device is configured to inspect a given message inbound or outbound based on a pre-determined profile of the location and pre-defined communication rules. Then, the proxy device is configured to restrict the given message based on a result of the inspection, where the restriction occurs after the system begins a communication session with the location and is performed for the duration of the communication session.
