Hello. I am having an issue that is similar to what is described in the early part of the thread below, however I haven't been able to sort mine out.
Trouble with Time of Day Firewall Rule in 9.1.0.0
Basically, I am trying to use time restrictions to block Internet access during school hours to some streaming devices (a couple of Rokus, an Apple TV, a PS3, and a Wii. I had this working just great, via a firewall rule with a time period defined. At first I used MAC addresses, and then later switched to static IPs for those devices. However, I enabled Web Filtering a few weeks ago, and unbeknownst to me, apparently that broke my blocking of those devices. When I initially enabled Web Filtering, I did have to add several of these devices to the "Transparent mode skiplist" to even get them to work, however I did not realize it broke my firewall rule time restrictions.
In the thread linked above, I see Bob's "Rule #2", that states packets are handled in the order of DNATs, then VPNs and proxies, then manual routes and firewall rules. This explains why my firewall rule is no longer effective. However, try as I might I have been unable to figure out how to use Web Filtering Profiles to restore my control over these devices using filter actions, filter assignments, and proxy profiles.
There's no user authentication on these devices, so I'm not sure if that's part of the problem. Can someone give me some suggestions or examples, get me pointed in the right direction? Currently running UTM 9.107-33 with the home license.
Thank you,
Tom
