"URL address too broad" In "Web access protection"


Recommended Posts

We currently have 8.0.12011.0. I'm 100% sure that in some previous version (6.x or 7.x) I was able to set "*" in "Web access protection > List of blocked addresses" and then in "Allowed" list I would add those that we want to allow. And it was working fine, it reported those blocked and didn't report on those allowed, I set it up with bunch of allowed urls and it was working fine. I updated to 8.x quite some time ago and just now I noticed that blocked urls (not on allow list) are not logged in "Filtered websites" and not reported back to ESET Protect. I did some testing and noticed that ESET doesn't allow to set "*" url with Logging Severity "Information" or "Warning". We have a RDS server that we only allow specific urls to visit and I was using ESET for this, but now when a new url is blocked I won't know about it! Why did you change it and why I can't force it how I want?

This was done some time ago to prevent huge logs from being generated and to relieve the ESET PROTECT server since it could go unresponsive if logging of all urls was enabled on clients and these records were subsequently transferred to the server for processing.

And let me tell you another thing, I set up those same rules for Endpoint Security and it's applied on few computers in our organization, and it works, they report back those blocked urls.

Could you please post a screenshot of the url list setup? Entering *.* in url lists should not work.
