yahoo IM and google chat

johnmunyi
Hi Guys,

recently i set my ASG router and it's working fine though i have blocked all IM except skype i discovered that clients can still chat via google chat and yahoo messenger. kindly assist on what else i should configure to block these chat facilities on the gmail site and also on yahoomail site.

Thanks guys

    This is not something you can block with IPS because it's just regular web traffic.  You have to use the URL filter in the HTP/S Proxy.  I watched the Live Log when chatting on Google and saw a URL with 
    http://b.mail.google.com

    Sure enough, when I listed that in 'Always Block', chatting via mail.google.com was blocked.  When you figure out the way to block chat via mail.yahoo.com, please post that information here.

    Cheers - Bob
