Smoothwall how to unfilter random domains?

[kennysarmy]

Our ICT teacher is trying to use:

 

https://repl.it/

 

But it seems the Smoothwall is blocking lots of the URL it calls.

 

 

Can anyone advise how I could unblock sites such as "bown8vax3us--five-nine.repl.co"

 

Where the "bown8vax3us" element appear to change randomly?

Does allowing repl.co not work?

Or *.repl.co

Or *.repl.co

 

When I try to add that I get "Validation failed because the URL regular expression "*.repl.co" is invalid. "

 

I'm struggling to see how to add the * - apparently I need a "PERL compatible regular expression"

whitlist the root domain, it will whitelist the subdomains dont do *.

 

 

that said i think you can press advanced if you want to do regex matching

Yes, the domain is the only thing that needs adding. No need for wildcards - 'repl.co' is what you should add to the domain/url filter field.

 

If you want to be more specific, you can add a regular expression in the URL field in the advanced section - 'five-nine.repl.co' would work there if that part is constant as well.
