If you are still struggling, put in a ticket and send me the details
-
I'll chase it up
-
The categorisation team tell me that - and many more thai adult sites - will now be more aggressively classified, starting with the new rules list overnight tonight -
Oh, it's back - the content filter misses it slightly, so hopefully a bit more work on our thai coverage will pick that up! It is picked up by the new AI image filter though
-
Seems to have been taken down before I could see if the content filter would block it

Impero / Ed Pro Alternatives ??

You could switch to the cloud filter on the devices which run senso - that should stop em fighting. We did try to get senso working, I think 1.3 is a red herring here, there's something else it doesnt like. -
I think their filter and alert software are very much 2 sides of the same coin - my advice would be to look at one of the monitoring products that can stand alone by design (obviously I can recommend Smoothwall as market leader, but also senso I think is available from lgfl, and securus)
-
Probably the rancid windows inbuilt wget. I like windows subsystem for linux so I can have all my tools. If you DM me the site and the offending page, I will have a look today after work
-
That's what I did on my system, though I am a bit rusty with this
-
No those certs don't do anything until you tell the filter which one to use [on the guardian/https settings page] - but yes, create, then roll out, then tell the filter to use it
-
The warning message (stupidly) takes a day to expire - so as long as your clients are happy then dont worry I just did this on my test box - and there are improvements coming (I did try to hack fix the warning message not clearing, but I failed!)
-
wget --mirror and then grep the output for the suspicious link?

Sure, that could do with fixing, but hardly a reason not to visit, or am I missing something? -

Yeah, that ncsc block is their DNS only - I dont see an awful lot wrong with the site from a cursory glance -

You could always use a conditional DNS rule to look this up elsewhere if your DNS server supports that sort of thing. -
I don't think there is a timeout on radius. I'll chase the underlying issue up with the agents team in the new year.
-
Sounds like you have a handle on it - and if the username matches something in your google directory, yes, the Smoothwall will do group lookup there
-
Sure. It's deeply sub optimal, but might represent a reasonable interim. It's true of any system that relies on identity that isn't auth
-
Unless I am very much mistaken, if you do radius accounting the smoothwall simply doesnt care if a radius server exists. All it cares about is does a radacct packet arrive from a trusted source (you may have to maker all your IPs trusted)
-
Yeah, that's our challenge here - not having an actual proper logged in windows user. I have raised this with the filtering PM team.
-
My thought is that kerberos would need a local AD - have you still got one? And would require the user to be a domain joined user.
-
Thanks for updating folk Joel, I appreciate you! (For those that don't know Joel, he has worked with us as our Swedish partner for years and years, and he knows so much about how we work, it's just astonishing - he makes sure I dont miss anything on here!)
-
Probably the easiest way to send that sort of info to the smoothwall is a radius accounting packet... KRB requires cryptography
-
It should do! Go for it!
-
Looks like it, I'll have the team investigate
