Title: Content Filtering not working
Post by: sixstringssteve on Saturday 28 August 2010, 06:22:30 am
I set up a test machine to try to see if this solution will work for my needs and I cannot get the content filtering to work for the life of me.  Under status is says it is running and on the dashboard it appears to be up but all the specs are 0...no misses, no hits, no blocked, nothing.  I have the content filtering profile set in the proxy settings and have it assigned to an access policy, but I can get to any web site I want to see.  I have tried to find some tutorial or something refering to inital configuaration to see if maybe I missed some critical step, but I can't find any errors.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

It seems that when I switch the HTTP Proxy to transparent it blocks everything, when it is not transparent it blocks nothing. ???

¿Are you sure you have the correct config in both users and firewall?

With Not transparent you also must configure your clients to use the proxy to <<EFW IP>>:8080. In this mode the default settings allow any traffic via HTTP (port 80). To avoid that ppl use the default port 80, you must remove the rule on Outgoing firewall.

With transparent one, you don't need to change anything on clients. In this case the outgoing firewall rule for HTTP isn't fired (the HTTP traffic goes thru HTTP Proxy)

This is a bug that is still in the product from v2.2 :(  Dansguardian needs to be updated on the firewall.  Unfortunatley you cannot complile so you will have to wait for a fix :(
