Web category not being blocked

AK2017 over 8 years ago

I've added numerous web categories and there all being blocked except for one, IPAddress. I can see from the logs that the ones i've blocked are highlighted in red and say "Denied", however, everything with the web category IPAddress is allowed to pass.

I've just realised that TOR and another VPN is passing through.

AK2017,

for TOR and VPN, you need to create a proper deny Application filter. For the web filter, did you enable decrypt and scan on the firewall rule?

Thanks

Thanks for replying lferrara. See the settings on the attached image. The only thing I didn't see while applying this setting was the "Mirco App Discovery" settings. Maybe it's part of Sophos XG Home or it's been removed?

I dont think Sophos XG can handle it.

I blocked all applications and blocked everything in web filtering, which resulted in AirVPN not connecting, the logs shows that it came under general internet http, which is incorrect. TOR still connect no matter what you do.

I've never experienced this problem with Sophos UTM, and that is exactly where i'm heading back to.
