We have a Sonicwall TZ210 which refers web requests to a Websense server to check if the request is permitted, etc. I am trying to replace the old websense server (crashy, no disk space 2003 P2V conversion) with a new 2008 vm. However the sonicwall refuses to 'see' the websense server - simply states "server is not responding" I am fairly new to both Sonicwall and Websense, and whilst there seems to be lots of documentation on both, there seems to be very little on using them together. The instructions seem to be - put in the websense ip address into sonicwall and turn on for zone. But not much help when it goes wrong. Is there anyone who uses these products together who could give me a place to start. My install is new (7.7 web security) and pretty much defaults all the way. Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi, I am an IT Technician at a Secondary School - we employ the latest version of Websense to filter the internet. This has been working fine until recently when there seems to have been an increase in the number of Proxy sites used by students to access inappropriate material. The filter does not seem to be picking these up efficiently, resulting in manual blocking. Can anybody offer any advice please. Thank You

I can't get ITunes to sync through Forefront TMG with Websense 7.6 filter. I keep getting the following denied connection in forefront… Denied Connection 30/08/2012 11:21:01 Log type: Firewall service Status: An ingoing packet was dropped because its destination address does not exist on the system, and no appropriate forwarding interface exists. Rule: None - see Result Code Source: Internal (10.0.1.40:5353) Destination: External (224.0.0.251:5353) Protocol: mac Additional information 1. Number of bytes sent: 0 Number of bytes received: 0 2. Processing time: 0ms Original Client IP: 10.0.1.40 The problems are… 1) I’m not even sure what the message is telling me? 2) I’m not sure it is even a Forefront TMG problem if I set up a new user in active directory in a folder without any group policies applied to the user account it works fines. And I can add the new user into any security groups. 3) If I URL query all of the different URLs that ITunes uses they are all permitted. I’m out of ideas on what to try…. I’m sort of going along with it being a folder redirection something or other type thingy problem at the moment! If anybody has any suggestions or better yet, fix this problem, you will be amazing for ever!! Thanks Jem

Hi, I'm banging my head against the wall trying to allow access to Prezi for our pupils. We are using Web Security 7.7. I've added the following to an exception https://prezi.com http://prezi-a.akamaihd.net/ Prezi - Ideas matter. Prezi - Ideas matter. http://cloudfront.net http://cloudfront.net:443 http://s3.amazonaws.com http://s3.amazonaws.com:443 http://akamaihd.net http://akamaihd.net:443 http://cdn.optimizely.com http://cdn.optimizely.com:443 Pupils can get to the login page but after entering their credentials a 'page cannot be displayed' error occurs. (Not the Websense block page) Can anyone help? Many thanks Sarah

Hi Gang, Some what linked to my "whats up with 3com" thread in networking forum - has anyone heard/used/implemented the 3com x506 appliance as a web threat appliance. Ive no question in paticular but rather getting anyone's feeling on it as a product or previous experience. Cheers

Hi All, We are currently using Google as our default search provider, but I need to be able to enforce safe searching for the whole site. We are using Websense 6.3 and there is a search filtering option on there and it is enabled but it doesn't really do anything. Is there another setting that needs to be implemented. Thanks in advance. dbsocs
