IM proxy stopped working.

rahman
Hi,

I have IM control enabled in Web Security, and MSN and IRC enabled in it. I used to use these apps without any problem. But today I fired up IRC client and it couldn't connect. When I watch package filter I see that IRC (8001) packages being dropped. If I create filter rules it connects. But isn't the purpose of proxy to manage it without package filters?

I don't know why it doesn't working any more, and don't know when it broke as I did not use any IRC for weeks.

Do any of you has similar problem?

    I'm sorry, I didn't read your original post closely enough.  IM/P2P is not a proxy; it's more like a filter.  If the traffic is not allowed by the packet filter rules, it never makes it to the IM/P2P traffic classifier to be blocked or allowed.

    Cheers - Bob
