Smoothwall - URL Redirect

[Gatt]

Is it possible to redirect URL's in SchoolGuardian/

eg user enters Bing but get redirected to www.google.co.uk ?

[tom_newton]

in Guardian/filtering/user defined
make a new category of type "content security"
probably need to add
"http://(.+)\.bing\.(.+)"->"http://www.google.co.uk"

that might overmatch a spot, but shouldn't be too bad. Not had chance to run it out, so let me know if you run into bother.

Oh, you'll have to add it into a filter, and then apply that filter (if it isn't already applied).

is this the same on the UTM's ?

That it is, Dan, That it is.

UTM does not have much in the way of software differences from any of the other Smoothie products.

Thats useful to know Tom I could make one that diverts the staff from edugeek to the internal ICT Helpdesk

[tom_newton]

Bad man.

[john]

If they find the answer on here it makes me jobless, Edugeek becomes the new better BSF

[Gatt]

Err.. I read that to mean if they go to EduGeek - they get redirected TO the internal helpdesk.. not send the staff here

Or do you mean sending the EduGeek Staff to your internal Helpdesk

Correct if they go www.edugeek.net (.com etc) it goes to http://ICTHELPDESK instead. If were too good on here they won't need me

[tom_newton]

Me thinks you undervalue your contribution John!

I hate to revive such an old thread, but it sparked an idea I had a while back...

Is is possible to redirect, but also include the original link

for example.. user tries to visit http://www.sometaggedsite.com/somepage.php however it is intercepted and redirected to http://www.mysite.com/?link=http://w...m/somepage.php

[tom_newton]

Possibly. I'd have to try it, youd need to use a \1 style reference - I doubt it TBH.
