Custom application control rule not working in XG125

Amey A

Hello,

I am trying to add custom application control rule but it's not working.
I create custom rule to block torrents.
After applying this rule to #Default_network_policy I am still able to browser http/https torrent URL's.
But If I add 'YouTube block' rule it works.

2nd question is how can I apply multiple application control rules?
Do I need to create new 'Firewall Rule' for every application control rule?

Regards,
Amey.

    Hi,

    you can do it the way you have suggested, but a bit untidy and messy to follow. Or you can create your own create your own web -> policy and add the other policies as you need to. Then you create a firewall rule that uses your new policy.

    Thanks Ian.

    I am still facing issue with P2P policy.
    Users are still able to browse torrent web-sites.
    How can I block all sites containing keywords 'torrents'?

    Hi Amy,

    a simplistic setup to show you how.

    Application -> add application filter -> save it. This will create a shell for which in the next step you add the applications you wish to block

    Application -> application filter you created -> edit it and from there you can select by searching for named applications add them (tick) then save. This will only give you a small group (3) you will need to think about the names of other torrents.

    Ten you create a firewall rule and select the new application rule. Now you can either build a complex rule or create lots of simple rules for seperate firewall rules for each that are higher in the firewall list than your general access rule.

    I hope this makes sense?

    Many edits to fix wrong information.

    Thanks Ian. I was looking for this option.
    For now I have applied it to default network rule.


    1 more question.
    Is it possible that I can create a list of web-sites that I want to block?
    I mean where I'll create a simple text file which will contain keywords & URL of web-sites & attach that txt file in Sophos.
