[Solved] Web filter timed event blocking all the time UTM 9.4

First I tried using a firewall rule to block access, but I've learned that since I'm using web filtering to block ads and such, firewall rules will not work. So, I've set up a timed web filter event so my kids will not be tempted to use the internet all night. The reason I don't understand why it's not working is because I have another policy set up to allow a couple categories to be allowed by only 2 hosts on the network, and it works just fine, this is not a timed event. Here are caps of my setup. Block_All_Night is the policy not working. PEGAR works just fine. Is this just a bug with timed events? I've seen other posts sort of about this, but they were pretty vague.

 I set the night restrict time even from 1100pm to 600am.

 

                                                             

                                                         These are the 3 hosts I want to follow the policy.

                                                     I've tried this setting with just the Block_All_Night policy ticked. Same result.

                                             Here is the rule set.

                                           This is the page I get no matter what. I do have the UTM's certs installed on the PC for all users.

This is the log when trying to access google while within the allowed time frame.

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

    This looks too complex for what you want to do, and I think you may have misunderstood how this works.

    The only thing that determines which Web Filtering Profile applies to a particular device is its IP.  You need all of the policies for each IP in the same Profile.  Your Default Profile is never considered because all traffic from "Internal (Network)" is handled by Profile 1, 2 or 3.  Your policy that you name "Base" is redundant with the "Base Policy" at the bottom of the Profile.

    My first guess is that there's something wrong with your Time Event.  Please Edit it and show us a picture.

    Cheers - Bob

    Thanks Bob

     

    You were right, I goofed up the times in the event :). For someone who uses a 24-hour clock all day at work, I really dropped the ball on this one...
