Disable 'Unblock URL' for specific URLs ?

Hi,

some categories are blocked for specific users. 
If a normal office worker will access e.g. www.astaro.org, he will be blocked due to the 'URL Category: Technical/Business Forums'. If the user needs access to the URL, he can unblock this URL. The unblocking will be logged and reported in the daily 'Block Override Usage' report.

We want disable the 'unblock URL' feature for specific URL like dropbox.com.
dropbox.com is not allowed in 'Application control', but the user can unblock this URL to get access to dropbox.

I have explicit set dropbox.com to the filter action blacklist

Is there a possibility to disable the 'Unblock URL' for some specific URLs ?

  • No, Andreas, that's not possible.  Management just needs to make it clear that anyone unblocking a prohibited site like dropbox.com will have unblocking privileges withdrawn.

    Cheers - Bob
