8e6 Technologies ProxyBlocker manual Exclude filtering server for block page IP

APPENDICES SECTION APPENDIX C

Option 2: Modify the ProxyBlocker console

•PROS: Can be done from the ProxyBlocker console.

•CONS: Must be set up for each sub-group.

1.Make modifications in one of the redirect URL tabs:

•Go to: Group > IP > “Group Name” > “Sub-Group Name” > Sub Group Profile > Redirect URL

•Go to: Group > Global Group > Global Group Profile > Default Redirect URL

2.Set the redirect URL to: http://<server for

block_page>[:<port for block page>]/<blockpage>

NOTE: The ProxyBlocker does not accept the URL with a port setting (:<port for block page>), so to get around this the block page must be placed at the default HTTP port, which is 80. Since the console may not allow certain characters (e.g. “_”), if such characters are used in the URL a modified name must be used instead for the <blockpage>.

As a result, the ProxyBlocker will redirect the block page to the customized one with the following link format:

http://<server for block_page>[:<port for block page>]/ <blockpage>?URL=<blocked url>&IP=<client IP>&CAT=<URL category>&USER=<client User Name>

2.Exclude filtering <server for block page> IP

1.Go to: GUI: Group > Global Group > Range to Detect

2.Input the IP address under “Destination IP” > ”Exclude IP”

Without excluding this IP address, the ProxyBlocker may capture/filter/block the following redirect link:

http://<server for block_page>[:<port for block page>]/ <blockpage>?URL=<blocked url>&IP=<client IP>&CAT=<URL category>&USER=<client User Name>
