Regarding adults, contained in the application category

Dear Team,

As we checked and tried to deny some adult-containing sites on Sophos firewall, with the help of a website, we were able to deny that website, but in the application category, we were not observing any adult-related application, so kindly check and revert.

  • Hi ,

    Do you have examples of Adult applications? They can be part of "Streaming Media" category, for example. But we do not have an "Adult" category as most adult content are websites.

  • Do you have examples of adult applications? Ans: like in the web filter where "sexual exploitation" and "nudity" are. We know in streaming media but that we have observed lots of genuine applications also and for that we have raised concern for the sperate category for adult content in which we can find related adult-related applications. In streaming media, we can search as per our limited knowledge of applications, but if you make a different category, there is no need to search and we will not missed any application to tick .It would be helpful if you made a separate category. 

  • Hi,

    there is no need because you can block all access to those type of sites using the existing features.

    Please PM me a site that you can't block and I will try to access it using my filtering.

  • Please let me know more about that feature on which you can block websites and note: do not tell me to create a rule and add a website because this kind of website is changed and made on a daily basis, so we need an automation type like category kindly feature. And we have raised concern about it in the application category, not on the website.

  • Please send me the details as I asked, so I can test it.

  • Listen, we have concern about the category feature. We can search on a streaming site, but here if we don't have an idea about any of the search terms, it will be on and it is not good for our business. It should be in one category so we cannot miss some application while searching in the streaming category.

  • I am offering to help you, but you keep making excuses.
