Best way to url blacklist

Hi all,

i've just installed the endian 2.3 RC1 and i'm trying to figure out what is the best way to build a url blacklist.

I have seen that access policy can be used but the method is not so clear.

For testing i'm trying to:
1) transparent proxy
2) no authentication
3) full access to all green subnet to every external site BUT specific ones:
www.facebook.com
www.youtube.com
etc. etc.

If i build an access policy, in config i found no way to group domains
e.g. *.facebook.*   *.youtube.*
It always raise an error with the *

or the simple word in domain url
e.g.   porn  gabling

Should i use the content filter instead ? In this way how can i add specific domains to blacklist ?

Thanks to all in advance

Manually update your blacklist and use content filter. Youtube and similars fits into Audio&Video category, facebook.com falls on Social Networking category.

Once you update your blacklist, you'll be able to block those domains and any with similar content (even if you didn't know it).


For regexp you could try the regexp on content filter. It doesn't work very well for me (too restrictive on many cases).
