Sophos Web Control Notifications

cce27

I've enabled Web Control inside of our domain, and noticed that all blocked sites produce a notifcation in the toolbar for each computer. In the case of antivirus policy, I'm able to disable messaging, but I can't see a way to do this for Sophos Web Control -- a huge variety of sites produce notifications, and I'm already getting calls from users about them. Is there a way to turn these messages/notifications off as you can in Antivirus or Data Control policy? Thanks!

    Hello cce27,

    AFAIK you can't turn them off.

    According to the help these notifications should "only" be displayed for HTTPS - can't say right now how it behaves with in-page requests.

    Turning them off would mean that users just see a connection error in the browser for blocked HTTPS site, which could be more of a problem. If they are generate by in-page requests - well, it makes users aware that content from "inappropriate" sites is pulled whenever they visit some assumed innocuous URL.

    QC,

    Thanks for the information. This actually leads directly in to my second question: is there a way to customize the https: block message? I've already gotten a couple of calls asking why these websites aren't popping up, because they don't notice the popup notification on the task bar. I assume the answer is that this can't be customized? Thanks again!

    unfortunately your assumption is correct ...
