Title: proxy/content filter doesn't work
Post by: X_Ch4n on Friday 30 August 2013, 10:42:52 pm
Hi all,
i'm trying to setup my first endian firewall/proxy.

The firewall works great, but i'm having some problems with proxy/content filter.

I would like to block some specific urls, so i modified content1 profile and added these urls into blacklist box. After that i created an access policy with this settings: source zone: green, dest: any, auth: disabled, access policy: allow, filter profile: content1, policy status: enable.

I tried from a client to reach a blacklisted url and it wasn't blocked as expected. What am i wronging?

I tried to change access policy to Deny access, but in this case i can't reach any url (blacklisted or not).

I'm sure there is something that i don't understand, but i'm not able to know what....

please help me...

Do you have authentication set up?  The content filter will need it to work.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I setted up NCSA Auth and added some users. I created 2 access policies using 2 different content filter rules (admin, users).
I can see content filter service is always off.

Hi, i looked at /var/log/boot.log and i found many lines "dansguardian: dansguardian startup failed".

I would like to understand why. Where can i find other infos (log files) about dansguardian startup?

Thanks a lot

did you disable the ports 80,443, and 21 in the firewall outgoing rules?

Yes the traffic will go straight out otherwise.  If you want ti use the POP3 proxy (which I reccomend) disable that as well.
