How to block a Website ?

mario Andrick

Hello, 

i've got a question about blocking a Domain in on my Computers. 

 

Iam using the Sophos XG Firewall with IPS (Webfilter) and Proxy on Port 3128. 

 

Now i want to Block two domains on every computer. So nobody should acces these domains. 

 

What have i done ?

 

Protect -> Web -> URL Groups -> Blocked URLs for Default Policy ----> Here I added the Domains. 

Then I switched to: 

Protect -> Web -> Default Policy 

-> Users: Anybody ---> Block (See screenshot). 

 

=> On my Firewall rule the default Policy is set up . 

 

But the website isn't block. 

 

What have i done wrong ?

 

Thanks a lot

      This are the Rule for the Users. 

       

      But it seems to me, that everything works fine. I didn't know what i've done wrong yesterday. 

       

      The last question is: What is the difference between Intrusion Prevention and WEb Policy. 

      And should i check the checkboxes next to the WEb Policy and Application control to activate them ?

       

      Thanks a alot for helping me.

      Mario,

      Have you checked to make sure the two websites are not allowed in the Allow policies for Anybody? (in the screenshot)
