Mojave and the new NEWS application

Hi folks,

I have been investigating how to allow the NEWS feature in Apple Mojave to work.

Finally tracked down an exception to add the the Apple exception

^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?icloud\.com\.?/

Now I suspect that the \.? is not required because the site appears to be a .com only.

Next trick is workout how to allow the new APP Store to access the Apple sites, the exceptions fail, the site rates as IT which I am not blocking even though some sites show as blocked, so I added a specific policy in my WEB policy about allowing IT with http/s, but no joy.

  • Hi Michael,

    thank you for the explanation. I tried the 17.0.0.0 exception it added no value. I think the issue is port based, just I have not been able to identify which port. I have tried a couple but again they did not work.

    Still looking at the various XG logs as I try to connect.
