Unblock a website in Sophos Central Admin

neckbeard

Firstly, if this isnt in the right area please move - or advise and i will fix.

 

I have a website http://embla.com.au/ which is incorrectly blocked and gives me the default message of 

 

Website Blocked
  • Location: embla.com.au
  • Your organization's policy prohibits access to websites categorized as Alcohol & Tobacco.
  • Return to the page you were previously viewing.

 

My understanding is I have to goto Global Settings > Website Management. Then add a tag for the website in question, with it set to Alcohol & Tobacco.

Then i return to Endpoint protection > policies > web control > settings and add my new tag to 'Control sites tagged in Website Management' setting to 'allow'

 

Unfortunately this isnt working - have i missed something?

 

Thanks in advance

    There are two ways to do this, either:

    1) use Category Override to specify a different category (eg Business) which you are allowing in your Web Control policy

    2) add you own tag for the site (e.g. allowed_sites) then add that tag your Web Control policy under "Control sites tagged in Website Management" as allowed

    When you use method 2 you should not specify a category in the Category Override.
