online games

asgnewbie
how do I blocked Online games in asg ver 7.507?
In my profile I blocked already Games but still my users able to play online games.

Any guess?

    Can you post a line from the HTTP log showing one such access?

    Cheers - Bob

    I believe asgnewbie is speaking about online web based games. This is generally a company policy / productivity concern.

    Unfortunately they pop up left and right and are hard to to eliminate. I would have done exactly what you did asgnewbie and activate the "Games" URL Filter. Then I would take a quick scan of the logs daily and blacklist the ones that the base filter is not catching.

    Rather than add to a local blacklist, I prefer to report the URL to TrustedSource.  They typically reclassify within four hours, so the problem is handled soon-enough, the blacklist isn't large and unwieldy and the rest of the Astaro world benefits.

    Cheers - Bob
