Title: block all websites during specific hours yet allow some websites to go through
Post by: mxnerd on Friday 13 May 2011, 05:38:41 am
I'm trying to block all websites during specific hours yet allow some websites to go through proxy all the time.  How can I do it?

I have create Access Policies like following.   I want a specific workstation can only access some specified website like microsoft.com all the time, yet not able to access other websites until 18:00 to 22:00.     But it didn't work.  The user still is able to access other web sites ouside restricted period.   If I replace the ANY destination to  a specific website, like .mlb.com, then it works.

Any suggestion?

#  Policy                          Source         Destination    When
1.  unfiltered access     192.168.1.40  .microsoft.com     Always
2.  access denied         192.168.1.40   ANY                  MTWHFAS  00:00-18:00
3.  access denied         192.168.1.40   ANY                  MTWHFAS  22:00-24:00

create two policy
first => disable all and add Microsoft.com in white list
second => time based restriction for allow access

make sure to put microsoft policy on first place and time based policy on second place

whenever a request come at firewall, it will apply first rule, if not match then it will transfer it to second one.

let me know if you find any issue.
