Question

Whitelisting and blocking specific web pages

HI All,

 

First time user of the forums so please bear with me if I haven't provided the right information.

 

I recently purchased a Fortigate 200d on V5.4 for a Web filtering solution. However I am having difficulty setting up the whitelisting solution where all websites are blocked unless I put them into the static URL list.

 

Currently I am trying to allow access to JD Sports - www.JDSports.co.uk website. However I would like to block specific webpages on that website. eg I want to access all the products but block access to the login page.

 

To this end I have added into the Static URL filter list the following in this order shown.

1. Wildcard - block - www.jdsports.co.uk/myaccount/dashboard/

2. Wildcard - Allow - www.jdsports.co.uk

3. Wildcard - Block - * (deny to everything else).

 

When I test the above with these static url filter rules I can still get to JD Sports website but I can also still get to the myaccount\dashboard page. I really need the myaccount page to be blocked.

 

I have several websites where I have to do this and not being able to get it working properly. So would like some guidance if possible.

 

Kind Regards

Kash

    Hello kashafaziz.

     

    Did you enable deep-inspection? JDSports uses HTTPS. If you want to block /myaccount/dashboard, you need to enable deep-inspection or the FortiGate will only be able to see the hostname.
