sophos utm howto block external ip address with web filtering activated

Question

Hi, 
 I would like to block all traffic to certain external IP addresses for the internal network. How do I implement this with the web filter enabled? 
 If I disable the web filter, I can simply set a drop rule in the firewall. Unfortunately, this is not addressed when I store the external IP address in the exceptions. 
 Thanks in advance for any hint/solution. 
 
 Regards, 
 Reinhard

I would create a blackhole route if it is internal traffic going out to external IPs, as your requests sounds like that. You will need to create the network host so you can add it from your list under 'Network' in the picture I provided below. It will just silently drop any traffic to each route you create.
