Block internet access of selected users in Sophos Endpoint

Hello Jawwad,

I assume with 5.3.1 you mean SEC 5.3.1. With SEC you can assign policies only to computers.

yes you are right that I want to implement this policy on the selected computers. I want to block complete internet access. Please suggest the configuration.

Hello Jawwad,

you want to block all browsing or any access to outside the LAN?

Christian

Yes want to block all browsing for selected computers

Hello Jawwad,

normally you'd do something like this on the network - e.g. router or firewall.
On the endpoint the obvious solution is the client firewall (SCF - if available with your license). Web Control lets you block IP ranges using subnet masks - a little bit tedious, doable, the drawback is that it would block internal IPs as well (unless you work around with a very long list). Another option is to use Application Control to block browsers - drawbacks: you can't use them internally and the list is not complete.

Bottom line is, blocks in the network level a preferable.
