Web filter Issue

[junaidkkc]

Hello All,

We have made a new Policy "Restricted" and blocked "Bandwidth Consuming" and its sub-categories in Web filter. But there are websites which are in its sub-categories aren't blocking. Users can easily access those blocked websites. We have put "blocked rules" policy in the end of ipv4-policy. I have attached screenshots as well. I even blocked it from DNS filter but its still not blocking it.

Hi,

Is the policy in flow or proxy mode ? Also, do you have any SSL Inspection enabled on the rule in question?

[junaidkkc]

The policy is in flow mode and yes SSL inspection is enabled on the rule.

[funkylicious]

Try changing that to proxy mode and see if the web filter does it's work.

Not working, same result ... :\

See this article and also, rules that restrict/filters certain/specific traffic should be placed at the top of the policy table to make sure they do have/take effect and are not overridden by a rule/filter above it which permits the traffic that should be blocked.
