whitelistCMD 1 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 ERA OVA version: 6.5.417.0 Looking to block certain country domain extensions in web control. We're currently using ESET Web Control, but would like to start blocking certain country domain extensions. I tried a few configurations with wildcards, but I can't seem to get it to work. Is this even a possibility in Web Control, and if so, how and where should this be entered? I've been attempting this in a global block rule that I know is working, the user is definitely added to the rule, and I've been trying to enter the domain extension with a wildcard in the URL list attached to the rule. Examples (*.ru; *.ru*; *?.ru; .ru) <--Omit the ";". Thanks in advance.
Administrators Marcos 5,468 Posted November 9, 2017 Administrators Posted November 9, 2017 You'll need to use URL address management under Web and email -> Web access protection -> Url address management and add the TLD to the list of blocked addresses in the form *.ru/*
whitelistCMD 1 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Posted November 9, 2017 Thanks, Marcos. I'll go ahead and give this a try.
whitelistCMD 1 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Posted November 9, 2017 It's not working. I've confirmed there's no other policy that is overriding this, and forced the address list as well as web access protection. The endpoint definitely received the change I made as I can see it locally. I then tried to enter the domain name specifically, as I would enter it into web browser, and it's still not working. I'm not sure where the issue is? Any suggestions?
whitelistCMD 1 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Posted November 9, 2017 Disregard. I have it working for the specific domain now. It was a typo; of course. Just to clarify, do I have to have the TLD name, or can it be any domain ending in .ru, etc?
whitelistCMD 1 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Posted November 9, 2017 I got it. I was getting confused with all combinations I had tried earlier, and for some reason I thought your post said ".ru/*" and not "*.ru/*" Anyways, sorry for the back and forth and thanks for the help.
