    Hello everyone,

    I want to know that in firewall we have two options to block websites..source and destination and from local to remote. let's say i've decided to block a website using source and destination and in source i give the ip adress of the computer on which i want to block the website and in desination i select the DNS domain and the name of the website it works fine this way but next day when i turn on the computer it's IP changes as i have DHCP installed on my network so website doesn block. whats the use of local and remote??

    How to do it rightly?

    Regards

    If you want to ban all computers of a SEP group to access a special website, then you do not need to write anything in source. It's enough that destination is determined.
    But if you want to ban only some computers, you can define these computers in the firewall policy not only by IP address. You can use IP address ranges (matching the ranges of your DHCP server), MAC addresses and so on.
    Or define central host groups (Policies > Policy Components > Host Groups) which you can directly use in firewall policies.
