Block Upload to specific website!

We have got a FortiGate 50E with firmware v5.4.4 on NAT mode/Proxy based. I would like to restrict my network users to block the upload of data on a specific website. AnyOne here can help me implement this? Specifically, block upload to github.com, any help is appreciated!!

  • check in Web Rating Overrides
  • And then block those sites using those web filter based on Category  that you may find it web filter
  • For GitHub it comes under General interest-Bussiness block those categories or else uses those FQDN to Block
  • And then us nslookup to check 
  • C:\Users\varuvaiprjan>nslookup Default Server: globaldc.svsglobal.com Address: 10.1.1.1

    > github.com Server: globaldT.ITglobal.com Address: 10.1.1.1

    Non-authoritative answer: Name: github.com Addresses: 192.30.253.112 192.30.253.113

  • Use resolving address to block those IP by creating deny policy 
  • if any doubt ping me [/ol]
  • Thanks & Regards

  • I also have the same need to block github data uploads.

    I am not quite sure where to do it wrong, application control can only be recognized as github, and is not recognized as Github_File.Upload. So blocking is invalid

    The windows system has imported the certificate generated by the firewall. The browser accessing the web page can already see that the authenticated intermediate device is a firewall. But I am not sure if the client of github can be decrypted normally. What should I do?

    Application control sensors are processed from top-down, so the Github.file.Upload sensor block should be on top.  Mind you, if you are using security certificate inspection, fgt may not detect what is happening in that encrypted tunnel.

    Hi,

    What is your software version? How can I choose Github_File.Upload separately? I choose Github_File.Upload will definitely depend on Github. My software version is v6.0.4
