Content filtering not working on XG

Daniel Bingham

Hi, I am running Sophos XG Home SFOS 17.5.5 MR-5

First question: Can you run clientless users on devices such as iPads and have them content filter?

Now my issue:

I am trying to create a web filtering policy to keep my children safe.

As you can see, sexually explicit / adult is blocked

This is the rule (ID9) the user in question is "dan" the others are clientless users and forms part of my first question.

Once again Rule ID 9

Here's user dan visiting sexually explicit websites and its allowed

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

    Hi,

    you can use clientless users for iPhones in fact any device. You also need to assign them a fixed address in your DHCP server.

    Next you will need a firewall for each group of clienteles users for policies to be applied.

    You will also need to use application policies.

    I have what you requested working on my XG.

    Hi Ian, thanks for your reply.

     

    I have set the device up with a static IP, assigned a clientless user and added them to match users in firewall but no web filtering occurs. You say application policies, would you mind sending me a screenshot of a policy which would block something such as an adult site as I didn't think application policies could be used in that way?

     

    Thanks

    In reply to my own problem, it turns out that the content filtering policy was switched off at the content filter level

    Hi,

    change your application setting in  the firewall rule to allow and that will improve your classification.

    Soon you will be experimenting with blocking VPNs.
