Jessraea 0 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) I am testing out how URL Groups & Category Groups that I have BLOCK/WARNING rules set up for show my custom message. This is what is happening. An explicitly blocked website, within the URL Group Rule, gets the "Access Denied" ESET banner stating: The web page is on the list of blocked websites specified by the user. We also see the small ESET pop-up box on the bottom right stating the site is on my LIST, the URL & IP address. Those within the Category group get the generic browser "This page can't be displayed" and no pop-up from ESET. I was tipped off this could be relating to redirects for the sites as a few i am testing are social media, like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Logically i would expect that if these are all BLOCKED sites, they should be prompting the ESET message i created. Also, my logs are not showing me any notifications for explicitly blocked sites - only the categorical ones. Is that normal? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Administrators Marcos 5,228 Posted February 15, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 15, 2017 HTTPS websites are blocked without any message as the block occurs during handshake and not afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessraea 0 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Marcos - that is valuable to know, thank you. So the blocked message will only be applied on HTTP sites? It still begs the question, why is HTTP ://www.craigslist.org not getting the message I have in place as an HTTP address as it is sitting in my URL Group with a Block rule applied to it?

Administrators Marcos 5,228 Posted February 15, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 15, 2017 To put it right, you should get a pop-up alert even on https sites as shown below. It's just that the browser will throw an "SSL_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED_ALERT" error. I've tested it with ESS v10 but it should be similar with Web Control in Endpoint v6.

Jessraea 0 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yes, that makes sense to me and that is what i was expecting as well. However, it seems the ESET dialogue in the browser and the pop-up are just not applying correctly. hxxp://craigslist.org Screenshot 1. Not showing my custom message. Facebook, screenshot 2. Not showing an ESET message by category block or the pop-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
