Ive been using XG since v15 now and im starting to get used to it, but one thing that im still unsure of is how to correctly use web filters and app filters??
E.g. If i want to use web filtering on a LAN to WAN rule alone what should the app filter be set to? None or Allow all? Taking it further if i combine an app filter with the web filter does the deny all by default still apply? i.e. should i only be setting allow rule in the app filter if combining it with a web filter? reason i ask is ive tried setting up web filters with app filters (with allow per apps) to try to create a rule so that only the apps listed can get through the firewall? Ive tried doing just that but i still see other apps being allowed through the firewall. E.g i setup a rule for web browsers only, i set web filters then set an app filter on the same firewall rule thats white-listing the apps. But i still see browsers not in the app filter getting past the firewall.
Do i need to use https decryption when using app filters?
What im trying to accomplish is to eventually have multiple app filters to restrict what apps can get through the firewall but i dont seem to be getting the fine control i expected??
Does the web proxy affect how app filters work??
Thanks
