Question

The Botnet category is no longer available when searching the Application Signatures list

I am currently running firmware version 5.4.4 and will be upgrading to version 5.6.x. I can see that in v5.6.x "The Botnet category is no longer available when searching the Application Signatures list." Within my configuration, I currently have Application Control Security Profiles that block the category 'Botnet' and also block for anything that matches a behaviour of 'Botnet.'  This is applied to outbound traffic, sourced from my internal clients. What is the best way to continue to block this kind of traffic, following the upgrade?

Thanks.

    Hi Ban With 5.6.x, botnet connection has moved to interface. If you define no role, or the role Wan, you can block or monitor connections to Botnet Sites. Best,
