Title: EFW Firewall rule support
Post by: adit on Wednesday 08 February 2012, 04:23:30 pm
i have installed EFW 2.5 in vmwear. its working fine as proxy. but when i  configure the rule for testing

"source"any",destination "any" outgoing traffic "HTTP" policy"reject" ".

but it simply does not work. it suppose to block any traffic generated for port 80 should be block but the user behind proxy is able to access HTTP traffic.

Any suggestion in this regards...

hi

could you explain exactly about your problem. where you put that rule?(firewall rule or proxies rule?)
do you apply that rule?

you must check in logs of proxies,firewall ....

if not, nobody can answer or support you

If your client is configured to go via the proxy then you cannot block access to HTTP using a firewall rule as the client is no longer connecting through the firewall but to the Proxy.

If you want to block access to some clients to HTTP then you will need to create a new Proxy Access Policy;

source = IP or MAC and enter your client details
destination = <Any>
access policy = Deny access
position = First position

Also make sure that there is no active firewall rule allowing HTTP as otherwise the clients can bypass your Proxy  :(

Hope this helps
