Lower fanspeed on PA-500 so it can be used close to a desktop environment (or at home)?

With PA-200 there is a command similar to: set system setting fan-mode auto in order to throttle the onboard fan(s) so it doesnt rev up to max rpm and stays there as it normally might do. But this command doesnt seem to exist for the PA-500 series or am I missing somthing here? All I could find is (output from: show system environmental)...

Resolved! Site which should be blocked URLF not being blocked after SSL decryption

We are blocking a particular category of URLs (say gambling). When we access the unecrypted site it is blocked as expected. When we add https to the URL and browse we are not blocked. I can see in the logs that access is allowed by the FW, even though it hits a rule with a URLF profile that should block the category. The category for the SSL c...

I know that t...

Resolved! Botnet report full of cloud.typography.com entries

My weekly botnet report is full of entries like: "Repeatedly visited (32) the same malicious URL cloud.typography.com/" I've checked this URL in the database and using the CLI, and it shows as computer-and-internet-info Several tools I've used to check the site show nothing malicous.
