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

Hey alex makura ,

Thank you for reaching out to the community, install the SSL_CA cert and ensure to enable the option: "use web proxy instead of DPI" in the FW rule. 

Thanks for the TIP, yes SSL was already on, added that option, but still same result. Did you get the splash screen on your side?

Alright, thanks a lot, that sounds like i need a reset or some restart (tweak a bit)

You're welcome alex makura 

Ok, after some debbuging, I think I have a bad either version or a corrupted system.

reason 1. few unknown restarts

reason 2. sudden freeze on UI

reason 3. at one point restart locked on grub menu.

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

Some good news, I did get the splash screen, bad news is on every website.

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

Current state, there's a SSL certificate warning about being 21 years old expired, need to investigate how to get rid of that.

Next step, will perform a system reset.

Hey alex makura check the Current time zone, whether that is correct > under the Administration > Time 

checked the time, it was synced ok.

alright have good news again.

After reset, and using standard wizard setup on browser, opt in to the protections it suggested, also version update, NTP is synced and working, everything seems to be working smoothly.

Also the adult content block, started working with just the WEB option, clicking ON button it works straight away.

Thanks Vivek, just would like to say your quick replies and suggestions were A++, have a great day!

You're welcome alex makura I am glad it worked for you. Please up vote answers which helped !

ok, I have another question.

How would one create the rule in rules and policies to block results from google lets say searching *naked pictures* so no content would be visible?

I'm trying standard web filtering but that's not really doing the job.

I do get websites blocked at the moment with the out-of-the-box on function mentioned above.

Would you be able to replicate and give us a result?

Hey alex makura Yes it is doable. 

Under the web > Content filters > Add Content filter > you can add the list of suspicious/ explicit keywords here

And then you can use this content filter in the web > policy 

ok, I have tried that option, but it seems that its very restricted to the exact word you type in (so if you make any spelling mistake google still picks up and pictures shows up), and the whole intention is to simply block any naked picture if it ever appears on google search. Does Sophos offer any sort of technology to avoid this?

I wonder how our local library has that functionality, because it does work there.

thanks

ok, my work around at the moment is the google function `safe search` ill investigate if this is possible in any other firewall equipment.
