Hi...
I've just started using UTM (v 9.401-11) and love it so far - however I've run into one issue which I'm trying to understand.
I have a media streaming device (an Amazon Fire TV) which I want to block from accessing certain domains, to prevent it from auto-updating. What I want to do is only to block http and https access to these domains, and leave all other traffic from the device untouched. I was hoping to use the web filter for this, and it is successful in blocking access to the domains - but as soon as I enable the filter, media streaming to the device fails - Netflix is what I'm testing with specifically. What actually happens is with the filter enabled, the Netflix app launches but then almost immediately crashes back to the homepage.
I've configured a filter profile for the device as follows:
- Just the device set as allowed network
- transparent mode
- HTTPS: URL filtering only (Makes no difference if I select "Do not proxy HTTPS traffic in transparent mode")
The default content filter is set to allow everything, no antivirus scanning. Under 'filtering options / Misc' I have "Bypass content scanning for streaming content" selected.
I've also tried adding the exceptions described here: https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/f/129/t/74689
In the web filtering live log, every entry appears to be a pass - I can't see anything being blocked or denied when trying to access Netflix.
Am I doing anything obviously wrong, or - preferably - is there a simpler way to achieve what I want to do, i.e. to simply block access to a few domains and leave everything else untouched?
Hopefully this make sense :)
