Internet Filtering / Sonicwall

[MrWu]

Hi all;

 

How you guys coping with the Google https: search changes, we have the standard Sonicwall CFS at the moment

 

many thanks!

Does Sonicwall not do any HTTPS interception?

 

Basically there are two options:

1. Use Google's forcesafesearch DNS bodge to ensure that clients can't disable safe-search.

2. Do HTTPS interception and filter the content as you usually would for HTTP.

 

We have been using both methods by default for about a year and it works pretty well. If you only do (1) then you're relying entirely on Google's safesearch to filter the searches. (2) requires you to install a certificate on each client device, and obviously requires a filter that can do interception.
