Title: Two issues about Web Content Filter in Firewall DFL-800
Post by: eacampos on January 19, 2011, 06:56:44 AM

I have a DFL-800 with subscription for one year of Web Content Filtering Service.

I have two questions

1) I create a IDP-Rule for block Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger.  This work fine.

When the IDP-Rule is active we can't access the Yahoo Mail. If the IDP-Rule is Inactive we have access to Yahoo Mail.

The sites mail.yahoo.com and login.yahoo.com ( with protocols http and https ) are in a Whitelist in the Web Content Filter. How i can resolve this issue ??

2) I need to create a group of users ( IP address ). This group will be a exception where the Web Content Filtering don't' work and not block the surf over internet. This group will be "free".

I apologize for my English if not clear.

Thanks for your support.

2) Hi. you need to know that rules are inspected from the top to the bottom.
so you need to create the rule of your group before the other rules.

exemple : all can access dns
               grouo can access anything
               other can access to wcf rules.


1) In the policy_im_policy there is a signature called  Login.Yahoo.DNS-Request.Policy. what you can do is to create 1 idp rule and to action.
the first one will ignore the Login.Yahoo.DNS-Request.Policy and the second one will protect policy_im_policy.
I did it and obviously i can access my yahoo mail. I did not verify the yahoo messenger.
