Hi All,

I have a web filter called (LAN USERS- New policy) .

*) In which in General category i have blocked job search .

*) but i want to allow only www.glassdoor.com and www.glassdoor.in which falls under job search category .

*) I went and allowed it in the STATIC URL FILTER of (LAN USERS- New policy).

 

But still i am not able to open www.glassdoor.com or www.glassdoor.in

Attached Screen shot the kind reference .

 

Regards

Does setting the option to exempt work rather than allow?

Hi Rob Dog

 

Thanks for the solution 

 

I changed it to exempt from allow . It worked for me and the site www.glassdoor.com is working now .

You can also try defining a local category, which I would name it "whitelist", then put those URL in and allow them. It would override the pre-defined categories so they wouldn't affect.

I have the same problems but in my case I have to use wildcard domains. It won't let me create local categories with wildcards. The only way I can see if block the category in web filter and create a static url. But then allow does not work you need to use exempt which as noted above is "dangerous". Whats the best way to block everything from LAN to internet but allow certain web services like Adobe Creative cloud and office 365 etc. 

Thanks,

Rob

Try "Internet Service" in the policy to allow like "Adobe-Adobe.Cloud", "Microsoft-Office365".
