Smoothwall wildcard whitelist for google G Suite

[chrisjako]

Had an issue with google classroom where as students could not download resources from the teacher

 

narrowed it down to https://client6.google.com being blocked by smoothwall once i whitelisted it, it worked

 

so looking at googles g suite white list recommendations it gives *.clients[N].google.com however I don't think smoothwall will allow this [N] variable under

 

GUARDIAN->CATEGORIES->(Created a new category)->Domain/URL Filtering

 

It doesn't accept *.clients.google.com either although I found out simply inputting clients.google.com is the same as subdomain wildcarding it

 

So my question is other then using a bit of excel wizardry to get up to 100 domain whitelisted how are you getting past the [N] wildcard entry for whitelisting?

That's using the standard list right? If you expand the advanced bit there's pattern matching in the options too.

 

Maybe someone at Smoothwall could turn it into their own way as I think they do slightly different to regex but like this as an example in normal regex:

 

https:\/\/client\d.google\.\w{1,3}(?:\.\w{1,3})?
