White / Black list format [NOTABUG]

Is the format for the black/white lists still the same as it was for v6?

In particular, I was given the following links to prevent the students from accessing sites by their IP address to bypass the proxy:

http://[1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9]/*
# .*[1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9]/*

I seem to recall someone saying that these entries would do "bad" things to the HTTP proxy in v7?

If so, what is the proper expression to block access via IP addresses?

Thanks,

Parents

Hi,

you can use the following regex to prevent accessing Hosts by IP:

for http:

^http://([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}

for https:

^([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}

These regular expressions may look confusing, but they should work [:)]

"May" look confusing? :-) I do't have to understand it as long as it works.

Thanks,

Maybe I am not understanding how to apply this. I add it to block these urls/sites and it does not seem to work.

If you want to also block integer IPv4 notation, simply use

^htt(p|ps)\:\/\/[0-9.]+\/

Ok, if you have your profile in blacklist mode:
Edit the profile, go to the blacklist section
Add a site
copy / paste the expressions they provided into the text box, apply
Save

It works for me.
Before adding the line, I could browse by IP address. After, I could not.

The hardest part was just making sure which profile the system was using.

Thanks for all the help. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and have a better understanding of how it all fits together.
