How to block a Website ?

Hello, 

i've got a question about blocking a Domain in on my Computers. 

 

Iam using the Sophos XG Firewall with IPS (Webfilter) and Proxy on Port 3128. 

 

Now i want to Block two domains on every computer. So nobody should acces these domains. 

 

What have i done ?

 

Protect -> Web -> URL Groups -> Blocked URLs for Default Policy ----> Here I added the Domains. 

Then I switched to: 

Protect -> Web -> Default Policy 

-> Users: Anybody ---> Block (See screenshot). 

 

=> On my Firewall rule the default Policy is set up . 

 

But the website isn't block. 

 

What have i done wrong ?

 

Thanks a lot

    Mario,

    Have you checked to make sure the two websites are not allowed in the Allow policies for Anybody? (in the screenshot)

  • Hey,

     

    Thanks for helping me.

     

    Actually it is working fine. The Problem was the Cache of the Internet Explorer.  Some time later the Website was blocked.

     

    Thanks a lot.
