Kittamaru 0 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Good morning everyone. I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge on this subject - I've been thrust into a role I wasn't quite prepared for and am scrambling to get caught up as quickly as possible! We have a rather basic domain setup and would like to filter web traffic on it. Now, I have access to the remote server and the workstations, so my thought was I would use groups to maintain different policies. The reason is, some workstations will need to have access to the internet for looking up prices, parts, etc, while others should be restricted to manufacturer websites only... Thing is, I'm not at all sure how to begin doing this, or even if the groups and policy settings function like that. Can I set these up on the remote server and push them out? Do the groups allow (as I think) for different policies to be distributed to different workstations? Edited May 22, 2014 by Kittamaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamT 21 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hello Kittamaru, This wil depend on which of our workstation products you are using. For what you are trying to do you will probably need ESET Endpoint Security. For instructions on how to get what you are wanting please click here . Thank you William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru 0 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 The workstations are running ESET Endpoint Antivirus - I would guess, from what you linked there, that the Endpoint A/V would not support this then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakasi 549 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Hello, The web control is not included in the Endpoint Antivirus solution. Web control : hxxp://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2512 Web control groups modification : hxxp://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN3051 It would be very simply to upgrade your existing to Endpoint Security. Contact your local distributor and they should hook you up ! If you need assistance migrating, return here. Edited May 27, 2014 by Arakasi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadh 45 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Hello Kittamaru, I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge on this subject - I've been thrust into a role I wasn't quite prepared for and am scrambling to get caught up as quickly as possible! No problem. J Everyone starts out as a beginner. Hopefully we can address your questions and concerns. Do the groups allow (as I think) for different policies to be distributed to different workstations? Definitely. For more information about groups and using them to assign policies, please see the Knowledgebase articles below for instructions on this process: How do I set up and assign a policy to a static group in ESET Remote Administrator? (5.x) How do I set up a Parametric Group in ESET Remote Administrator? Please note, if you use Parametric Groups to automatically assign your clients based on specified parameters, the Enter Rule Condition field will accept wildcards. For example, an OS Name Mask of “*server*” (without the quotes) will create a group of all clients connected to Remote Administrator that are running a Windows Server operating system (e.g. Server 2003, Server 2008, etc.). Now, I have access to the remote server and the workstations, so my thought was I would use groups to maintain different policies. The reason is, some workstations will need to have access to the internet for looking up prices, parts, etc, while others should be restricted to manufacturer websites only If you are using Endpoint Antivirus, you can use Web Access Protection to allow/block web sites by the URL. For more information about Web Access Protection, please see the Knowledgebase article below for instructions on this process: ESET is blocking a website I know to be safe—how do I exclude it?If you want to block all web sites, except for those you want to explicitly allow, please follow the steps below: Open the main program window by double-clicking the ESET icon in your Windows notification area or by clicking Start All Programs ESET ESET Endpoint Security or ESET Endpoint Antivirus. Press the F5 key to open the Advanced Setup window. Expand Web and email Web access protection, click URL address management and then select List of addresses excluded from filtering from the drop-down menu. Select the check box next to Allow access only to HTTP addresses in the list of allowed addresses. Select List of allowed addresses from the drop-down menu. Click Add to individually add the addresses you want to allow users to access. For each website, be sure to include a wildcard "*" symbol, as in "*eset.com*". Click OK to save your changes. Click OK to save your changes and exit the Advanced Setup window. Thank you, ChadH Edited May 27, 2014 by Chadh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
