Basic Firewall Question

caliph
Hello.

I cannot wrap my head around this very basic issue.
I have configured 2 firewall rules in the UTM:

position --          source  --       service  --      action --   destination
1      --              x.x.x.61  --     any      --       reject --   any
2      --              any     --        websurf  --     allow  --    any

Why can this host 61 still surf the internet? In my understanding the 1st rule will be applied and the second will be ignored for host 61.

Any advice is apprciated.

Best regards,
Stefan

    Web protection in Standard or transparent mode?

    If transparent: go to Web Protection -> Fitlering options -> Advanced, then add your host .61 to the transparent source skip list.
    Now you can handle the traffic with firewall rules, as this source host will not use the proxy.
