Unable to work Web Control in EES V.6.3.

[Haresh2015 3]

Hello ESET Team,

 

   I have installed ESET Endpoint Security V.6.3.2016.0 & restricted categories-wise website by web control.

 

OS : MS Windows 10 (V.1511) & MS Windows 7 Pro SP1 (reported problem in both)

 

Problem 1 : Unable to open website in Internet explorer or Mozilla Firefox & webpage goes to looping,

                   If I have paused web control protection, it's worked fine.

 

Problem 2: If exclude Internet explorer & Mozilla Firefox Application in Protocol filtering in advance setup.

                  website open successfully but unable to work web control (unable to restrict categories-wise website)

 

so please give solution as soon as possible.

 

waiting for prompt replay.

Most likely your router has a problem processing TXT DNS responses. Does changing the DNS server to Google's 8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4 make a difference?

I'm not sure if I'm having the same issue, but, web control is no longer working for us since 6.3.   We have it setup to block/allow specific sites, and previously our allow lists would override our block list, but this functionality is no longer working in 6.3.

Please provide step-by-step instructions how to reproduce the issue. What version of Endpoint did you have installed prior to v6.3?

We have the latest ERA.

Attempting to go from ESET 6.2 to 6.3

We have it setup like this:

An "all users" policy that gets applied to all computers, contains our large website blocklist (ex: facebook.com)

We have certain people who are ALLOWED to go to facebook and we have set up a group called "socialusersgroup" that receives the "all users" policy that contains a block for facebook, but also contains another policy (socialpolicy) that overrides the all users policy and says that facebook.com is on the allow list.

Hope you get what I mean, kind of hard to explain

 

Thanks,

If you disable both SSL scanning and Web control and add *facebook.com* to the list of blocked addresses in the URL management under Web access protection, you should get an error "SSL_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED_ALERT" while attempting to open facebook.com in a browser. Does that work?

Thanks, this turned out to be an issue with a proxy/firewall - just happened to start getting the error at the exact moment I upgraded to 6.3.
