Quote how blocking works

Question

Hey guys. 
 Thanks in advance for your time. I would like to know how the navigation quota works. Is the limit applied globally to the user of the group regardless of the firewall rule or does it only apply to the firewall rule that the group is applied to?

Hello Gib GoDesk , 
 Thanks for reaching out to Sophos Community 
 For surfing quota to take effect you must apply it to users or groups: https://doc.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/19.5/help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/Web/SurfingQuotas/WebSurfingQuotaAdd/index.html 
 
 And firewall rule should have user-based rule

So to answer, it is not "regardless of firewall rule" It's what the first user-based rule will the traffic hit on the policy precedence. 
 Then if user/group hit "Maximum amount time - in Hours and minutes" traffic will be disconnected even if the Validity* period - in days is not yet expired. 
 
 Hope this helps. Have a nice day and thank you for choosing Sophos. 
 Cheers,

Hi Gib, 
 When the user logs in at 10 AM, and then uses all of the quota at 12 PM, then it&rsquo;ll renew after 24 hours from 12 PM.
