SonicWall Content Filter - Bypass with IP address? |
|
|
Currently on our custom filters we have a number of sites that we wish
to block due to many diverse reasons. We simply have the name of the
site to be blocked, such as yahoo.com or google.com, without the www.
or anything else in front of it (as recommended in the manual).
However, I have discovered that people can bypass these filters by
simply looking up the IP address of the site and using that. The
custom filter doesn't filter it out.
It seems to be a hassle to always have to get the IP address to add to
the custom filter. This may also backfire, since web sites could
change their IP address at a moment's notice. Is there a setting in
the interface to counter this process?
Thanks in advance
