Block clients EVEN from web filtering exception lists?

OK this is something that is not obvious.  

 

I would like to block some users/devices during certain time periods from even being able to access sites that are on the exception lists (such as windowsupdate etc).   

It appears the exception lists get processed BEFORE all the other filtering profiles and options so they are allowed out to those sites that are in the exception rules no matter what I do.

 

I would like to be able to totally 100% turn off filtering for some devices during some time periods.  

 

IS this possible?  Maybe a firewall rule or something instead of something at web filter level?

  • Hi, Don, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    I have moved your thread from "General Discussion" to the Web Filtering forum.

    It's not clear whether you want to allow access without filtering or if you want to block access during specific periods.

    Cheers - Bob
