File blocking

L1 Bithead

I have setup file blocking object but it does not seem to stop all downloads.. (Ex.. Try to download file from cnet.com it gets blocked.. If I go to adobe and download adobe reader the setup file downloads). Also is there a way to block all files except pdf without setting up file type rules?

@rmsdip3,

Are you decrypting traffic and what exactly does your file blocking policy look like? If you are looking to block all file types except for pdf you would need to block all other file types you are able to with file type rules. Keep in mind that PA does not support all file types, so there are ways around file blocking.
