Unable to see port designation for web traffic on port 80 and 443 (and so I am unable to block it with a firewall rule)

I want to block http/https (port 80 and 443) traffic at night for certain IP addresses.  However, I am unable to do so.  Services that are given a "dstport" are blocked, and the rule is logged.  However, http/https traffic on ports 80 and 443 do not have a "dstport" field, and so I think this is why they are not getting blocked.  The attached screenshot shows traffic going to port 123 being blocked and logged with rule #3, but traffic headed to the web sails right through (no port designation).  Any idea why this is happening?  Logs and screenshot of firewall rule order are attached.

thanks

  • It is possible with Web Filtering Profile assigned to devices, time based Policy and Filter which blocks desired extensions.
  • I've explained similar scenario in more details in this forum post:

  • Ok, this framework did the trick.  Here is what I ended up doing, which works for me.

    First, in the web filter profiles, I created a new profile to control access for my kids

    Then, I edited the profile in the following way: 1) put the hosts into the "Allowed Networks" area.  2) gave the profile a name.

    I then created a policy in the profile.  Here I will assign the time period to which this will take effect.  I tested it by putting the profile to "Always" (Yeah, there is a place to test the profile as well), I switched the "BedTime" profile afterward.

    Policy entered here:

    That is all there is to it. Until my kids figure out how to change their IP address, this should work for me.
