Allow and Block websites using Symantec Endpoint Protection Firewall

neat stuff...!!! 
easy to understand ..thank u .. for making SEp simpler 

i send you an email with a problem i have if you can help me
thanks.

Did you test it having the browser configured to use a proxy? Just curious if SEP Firewall sees the destination as the proxy ip, or the website dns name... 
Also, can we display a notification for the user if the rule blocks the website?

This method does not work if used Microsoft Firewall Client fo ISA Server :(
 

Good article.

I wish to know if you can block with SEP Firewall all messenger programs? (Windows Live Messenger, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, etc.)

Thanks

Yes you can block messengers.

This is just an example. You can use it to block any website.

thanks for update good video

Hi Mudit, just a few comments

1 .- with that configuration, how do you make sure you are protecting the host from incoming connections from the hosts your enabled?  its clear you are getting access to symmantec. but how do you prevent an incomming connection to the host from the allowed site?

lets say you want to allow the host to get access to every internet site. how will you be protecting the host from the external incomming connections? if you can't achieve that the firewall has no purpouse

2.- On the Demo you use the host IP in the source section to identify the host, then you applied the ruleset over all the groups. obviously the ruleset will only be applicable to the host that has the IP you specified but the rest of the hosts will not be covered.

Lets say you have 2000 Computers and you want a granular rule to allow every single host to get access to symantec, isn't possible specify "localhost" to build the rule?

I really appreciate your kind response

I had follow the video ,but it is not working in my case . Iam using SEPM 12.1& trying to block google
