Testing "Inappropriate Website Control"

IanL

OK, have SEC 5 and SEP 10 installed on all PC's on the LAN.

All have updated today and all are reflecting that they are compliant with all the Policies.

The Policy for Web Control is enabled and set to "Inappropriate Website Control" and uses the default settings. (It's a clone of the supplied default policy).

So now to test. On one of the PCs on the LAN, I browse using FireFox or IE8 to several known sites that would instigate a BLOCK (Some Web Proxies and one PORN site).

No effect on the PC, it can access the sites with no trouble and no web events are registered in EC 5.

What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,

    Couple of things to consider....

    If you open up SAV on the client (run SAVMain.exe/double click the Sophos sheild in the notifiation area) in the top left of the Window, does it show that Web Control is Enabled or Disabled?


    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\[Wow6432Node]\Sophos\Web Intelligence\Web Control

    Enabled

    is set to 1?

    If you're using Chrome for example and run:
    chrome://net-internals/#serviceProviders

    it shows the Sophos LSPs?

    The "Sophos Web Control Service " is running on the client?

    If in the policy you just add "Google.com" for example as a block site, this should make it down to the client registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\[Wow6432Node]\Sophos\Web Intelligence\Web Control \BlockedSites

    and that is then blocked in the browser?

    Regards,

    Jak
