ESET web protection not working properly


Recommended Posts

Not a big deal .... but FF 124 with (about:config) -- network.http.http3.enabled -- changed to False I still get the -- https://crackingpatching.com/  -- site with DoH Enabled ...... Edge DoH Enabled but HTTP3 DISabled.....  Blocks that site 3 times in a row.

Will await 17.1 .....

First, as best as I can tell, Firefox isn't using HTTP/3.

Next, the problem with Firefox is how it performs DNS resolution when DoH is enabled as noted in the other forum thread on this issue and repeated below;

Quote

This may be due to Mozilla Firefox's enablement of DNS over HTTPS. This feature is designed to bypass enterprise DNS and security and should not be used in an Enterprise environment. Our Web Protection interception interferes with this lookup.

Note: Only Mozilla Firefox is affected by this. Other browsers that may use DNS over HTTPS such as Google Chrome, use the Operating System information for DNS, which we also do. Firefox is the only browser that uses its own DNS configuration.

DNS-over-HTTPS at an application level attempts to bypass many security features. As such, we do not recommend having this setting enabled when using Sophos Web Protection.

Thanks, itman. I saw a ghacks post from 2020 How to enable HTTP3 in FF plus a few other articles (2019 How To Geeks: HTTP/3 is becoming more widespread) ....and just presumed..... Not sure I'd see the difference anyway....

can I configure ESET to block newly registered domains? to reduce phishing attacks and malicious websites.

No. At least you cannot determine the age of domains with ESET.

I have concern about ESET browser extension shouldn't it help blocking malicious URLs that found in ESET database this should work even with QUIC protocol. as this also, will improve the performance of blocking webpages.

You can disable "Uncategorized" in Web, Parental Controls. This will block access to newly created pages, but you should expect increased FPs. 👍🙂

the problem with parental control is it's work per user not system wide.

and for more reliability if the domain created for more than 32 days it can be unblocked even if it's not categorized by ESET

as in this period if it was malicious probably it will be downed or blacklisted.

Just retested.

Eset nows blocks the domain with network.http.http3.enable set to false. DoH set to maximum level using default Cloudflare servers. I am also now using my ISP DNS servers as Win DNS servers.

Still No Block for me. False setting & Quad 9 to Cloudflare (default) and that crackingpatch site still shows. I even changed the -- xxx.enable_0rrt -- expression to false but No Block. I'll live with it til 17.1.....

In my case, the key element was switching back to my ISP DNS servers as my Win DNS servers. I had tried using both Cloudflare and Quad9 as my Win DNS servers previously with http.http3.enable set to false, and Eset failed to alert/block crackingpatch site. My suspicion it's the 6rd tunneling my ISP uses on their network.

One last attempt & I'll leave you alone  .... To do what you did with Win servers .....I'm looking at my AT&T Uverse Gateway data and in the Broadband Tab/Current Internet Connection .... I see Primary and Secondary DNS numbers ... Is THAT what I'd plug into the slots where Quad 9 data had been? ..... Obtain DNS Servers Automatically was my first guess that failed at making a Block.

Ahh .............. You poor soul! That is also my ISP.

First, you can't change any DNS server info on AT&T gateways/routers. They have locked the settings from modification.

Do as I did. Remove any third party DNS server settings from your IPv4/IPv6 connections. Now you are using AT&T DNS servers assigned via DHCP. Reboot Windows. Retest with http.http3.enable set to false in Firefox.

I was going to plug Those Gateway #s into the IPv4/IPv6 blocks of my W10 Network module (Network/ Change Adaptor Options/ Ethernet / IPv4 & 6 .

Both Blocks Blank / Re-Start ... and I still get the test site page. I'll live with it & Thanks for the How-To.....
