Smoothwall - Blocking everything except certain websites

Does anyone know if there is a way of doing this? Tried looking at the policies and can't see an obvious way of doing it, but I'm no expert.

A rudimentary way would be to create two Guardian Policies, one above the other:

Policy 1 (Allowed Sites): Who: $users | Where: Everywhere (or specific locations) | What: $AllowedSites | When:Always | Action: Allow

Policy 2 (Block): Who: $users | Where: Everywhere (or specific locations) | What: Everything | When:Always | Action: Block

 

Policies are processed from top to bottom so if the request didn't match one of the sites in policy 1, it would move to policy 2 then block everything.

Good idea, thanks I'll try that.
