URL filtering

Dears,

 

I would like to know if I can block facebook, but allow the access to only company page on it.

I want to allow access to the page only, and block everything related to Facebook.

I think you will need to block facebook.com within the webfilter profile under "Web Site Filter". But since Facebook uses https you will also need to turn on and configure SSL Inspection for it to truly be blocked.

 

As for the company page if it has a more specific URL you can choose to Exempt/Allow that specific URL under "Web Site Filter" but place this entry above the blocked facebook.com entry in the list. 

 

Of course the allowed company page may look funny because it would be calling other facebook.com components in the background. You may need to Exempt/Allow some other facebook.com  subdomains for the company page to look normal.
