Block specific search terms in Google/Bing XG Home

Kevin Roth

Hi all,

I have recently purchased an XG 125 rev3 and installed Sophos home on it.

I have been playing with the web filter and have found that it works very well for the most part. However, I have been unsuccessful in blocking specific search terms - specifically adult/explicit content - on search engines and image search. 

I tried using Web Proxy instead of DPI and enabling the "decrypt HTTPS using Web proxy" option but anytime I do that websites do not load properly. I would prefer to accomplish my goal using DPI if possible.

Here is my current configuration:

LAN to WAN Rules (Web Filtering):

New-Test-Policy:

I have tried creating new category filters using "naughty terns" and adding those to the web policies but that fails.

I have also tried adding category terms like so:

but it has also failed. 

From reading other posts I have read that I have to enable SSL/HTTPS Decryption? Can anyone provide some guidance as to how I can block specific search terms using DPI?

Thanks again.

    Hi,

    did you instal the XG CA on your devices? The web policies have a number of the items you are trying to block so you don't need to create new ones. I have the web proxy blocking access to a similar list sites using standard XG web policies.

    You will also need to enable an application filter. The web proxy is automatically enabled with all th boxes you have ticked. Michael Dunn has written a number of articles on the use of web proxy and DPI and can be found at th etop of th eforum.
