Smoothwall - Help with URL pattern regex

[getyourfill]

I am trying to allow a few specific URLs:

 

 

• https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/socket.io 2.2.0/socket.io.js
  
• any URL that has "MDN-phrase" in it.
  

 

How should I enter the regex exactly to allow these?

For the phrase 'MDN-phrase' you would just enter as is without quotes in the URL patterns and add this to an allow or do not filter policy.

 

The same goes for any URL pattern you add - if there is no need for regex variations, just enter the part of the url that's the common denominator.

What's being blocked? Sounds like a place where we can improve categorization

If I use the URL pattern route how would this work in the case of a HTTPS site when requiring SSL Login? I don't want the full domain allowed for users, but I need the URL with "MDN-Phrase" to be allowed all the time no matter if the user is authenticated or not.

 

Is it possible to do that without also completely allowing the base domain?

Yes it is but https inspection has to be on for the filter to see the full URL. Without https inspection the filter will only be able to see the domain part.
