How to setup Sophos Firewall "rule policy" to show the Sophos site blocked warning message in a browser?

Hi Tech Team,

I would like to have the warning screen in every occasion that a site has been block. (one just in case it's a false positive and 2 to keep testing and adjusting the system).

I'm puzzled how this is complicated, as normally we would like to instruct the person trying to access the page that this is not compliant to the rules.

how to replicate:

version: SFVH (SFOS 19.5.1 MR-1-Build278) 

----------------------------

So I created a simple rule called in PROTECT -> RULES AND POLICIES -> ADD FIREWALL RULE -> NEW FIREWALL RULE

name: "block explicit content" ,

action: have tried all 3 options (accept, drop, reject),

source: lan

destination: wan

security: web filtering: "no explicit content"

block quic protocol

----------------------------

outcome:

UNABLE TO CONNECT

----------------------------

desired outcome:

Sophos this website is blocked

----------------------------

Please find attached the screenshots

Thanks in advance!

desired result below

  • That is an internal address, the firewall does not process that address so you would not see an error.

  • Hi, thanks for the quick reply. Well I did try to connect to an online adult site(those one that starts with x and ends with videos . com), the result shows the internal address as seen on screen 172.16.16.16.

    Did I get your explanation correct or you're referring to something else?

  • You understood correctly. I am not sure why you are trying to access an external website using an internal address?
