Those attempting to sell illicit products online can employ filters on their websites to redirect traffic from government servers to an alternate website that is compliant with the Acts and Regulations. In addition, they can use trackers that detect when a government server has attempted to access their website, giving them the opportunity to hide any non-compliant products prior to an inspection.
In the past, some programs got around this by using standalone workstations located in a few locked offices that were connected to an off-grid network (Rogers/Bell), rather than the government network. This solution was not ideal, however, as it required inspectors to download and print the necessary information for their inspections prior to transitioning them to their workstations. As well, many inspectors were not located in these select offices, which meant they had to rely on another inspector to conduct their inspection activities.
The virtual workstations being tested are accessible from any departmental computers through web browser. The goal is for these workstations to allow inspectors to visit websites without being identified as being on a government network, and also make it easier to acquire and use tools that can be used for monitoring compliance of the online marketplace, such as web-scrapers and browser extensions.
