URL Filtering block websites?

BeKindPleaseRewind — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 22:13:04 GMT

I have a URL filter profile with a list of URLs set to block (under Objects Security Profiles > URL Filtering), which is applied to security group profile.

However none of the URLs are being blocked.

Is there something I should check to confirm this is setup right?

Hello,

My guess is that something got skipped. Check out this article, it may help out.

Hi @BeKindPleaseRewind,

Have you configured your profile in an actual security policy rule ? If not, it won't do anything 😉

Cheers !

Apparently there's something called a Commit button you have to click after making changes.

Thanks

Hi,

Please take a source IP address and check which policy it takes while going to the internet.

It seems traffic is passing through different policy which could be above Web-Filtering policy.

If above condition is true then change the priority of Web-filitering policy (place it above than any other internet policy)
